  Coastal homes, especially oceanfront and bluff-front homes, in the South Bay of Los Angeles often fall into the luxury home category due to their location alone. After all, there is a limited amount of coastline, and it comes with a price premium. Luxury properties with a panoramic view command top dollar as well. Combining location, views, and high-end residences defines the luxury home market in the South Bay coastal cities. Palos Verdes Luxury Homes Priced at $5,000,000 and Up Market Review for the First Half of 2026: 42 Palos Verdes Luxury Homes are currently for sale, ranging from $5.6M to $29M 8 Palos Verdes Luxury Homes are in escrow with accepted offers ranging from $5.2M to $8M 19 Palos Verdes Luxury Homes sold year to date, ranging from $5.1 to $9.7M Redondo Beach Luxury Homes Priced at $5,000,000 and Up Market Review for the First Half of 2026: 2 [...]

There's so much to love about the Palos Verdes Peninsula. I clearly remember the first time I visited Palos Verdes. I was here on a house-hunting trip, a reluctant buyer, making a move I did not want to make. I was happily ensconced in my 1929 lovingly restored home, a block from Tampa Bay, and my four children were thriving at one of Florida's best private schools. However, as a corporate wife, career called, and off we went to Los Angeles. Miraculously, after several disappointing attempts to find the perfect location for my family, Palos Verdes was suggested as a potential contender. That was in 1989. I now believe in love at first sight! The local real estate market is supported by the Palos Verdes Peninsula's spectacular views, outstanding public and private schools, and a wide variety of housing, from condos to country estates. It feels and lives far removed [...]

A Beautiful Terranea Resort Sunset As the sun sets on 2024, the Palos Verdes Real Estate Market still favors sellers, but their grasp is weakening. Buyers are surely rejoicing, but Palos Verdes Sellers need not despair. On a scale of 1- 10, with "1" a raging sellers' market and "10" a buyer's paradise, the Palos Verdes Peninsula stands at a strong 3. However, it was a challenging year for PV with land movement and, consequently, falling prices in the affected areas. The lowest price for a Palos Verdes home in 2024 was $800.000 for a home impacted by the landslide. There were five single-family home sales in PV under $1,000,000. On the other hand, the luxury market enjoyed a robust year, with ten residences selling for more than $8,000,000. The 2024 year-to-date most expensive sale on the Palos Verdes Peninsula was $11,500,000 for a property on Paseo La [...]

Palos Verdes Market Report Summer 2024

New season, new market? Perhaps the constant seller's market we have lived with for many years is slowly morphing toward a neutral market favoring neither the seller nor the buyer. I'm ready for that change, and even with a more sustainable market, real estate will remain not only shelter but an excellent way to build generational wealth for homeowners on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. There are currently 158 Palos Verdes single-family homes for sale on the entire Palos Verdes Peninsula. 59 PV single-family homes are in escrow with accepted offers, and 255 Palos Verdes houses have sold year to date in 2024. The luxury homes market, those homes priced at or above $5,000,000, now favors buyers as there are 37 luxury properties for sale and only three PV luxury estates in escrow with accepted offers. Market shifts always bring a few changes to the current real estate market. Sellers can [...]

May 2023: Palos Verdes Real Estate Report

  Never forget real estate is local. A four-bedroom house in Peoria is not comparable to a similar property in Palos Verdes. There are a plethora of articles about falling real estate values, but when it comes to the value of your home, what matters is the location, the condition, and the amenities. Inventory for Palos Verdes single-family homes is still extremely limited; many neighborhoods have more homes in escrow with accepted offers than there are properties for sale. As of May 1, 2023, active inventory is noted below. Palos Verdes: 65 Single Family Homes for Sale 67 Single Family Homes in Escrow   Palos Verdes Luxury Homes $5,000,000 and Up: 19 Single Family Homes for Sale 3 Single Family Homes in Escrow   Palos Verdes Estates: 21 Single Family Homes for Sale 16 Single Family Homes in Escrow   Rolling Hills: 9 Single Family Homes for Sale 5 Single [...]

Palos Verdes Peninsula Fall 2022 Real Estate Report

  Wow, what a difference a season makes! The beginning of summer was still full of multiple offers, over-asking price sales, and a queue of buyers anxious to plunge into the white-hot local Palos Verdes real estate market. Fall finds us with continuing low inventory, buyers looking for bargains, or at least a price reduction from the seller to signal the awareness of the significant shift in the market. The market shift arrived in PV, but its arrival was marked by gentle and slow changes rather than the hurricane force some other real estate markets received. Of the six markets I chart statistics for, four remain in a strong seller's market; the other two, luxury homes and Rolling Hills properties, are in a neutral market favoring neither the seller nor the buyer. That's still a very healthy market, but there is no doubt the market shift is creating changes in [...]

  The local real estate market is entering a mixed market, meaning some properties continue to sell within days with multiple offers. On the other hand, some properties remain on the market even after several price adjustments. Value and Price are aligned in the former and out of alignment in the latter example.   July 2022 Real Estate Statistics for the Palos Verdes Peninsula:   Below are the June 2022 median home prices for the four cities of the Palos Verdes Peninsula: Rolling Hills:  $4.8M Palos Verdes Estates: $3.5M Rolling Hills Estates:  $2.7M Rancho Palos Verdes:  $1.8M   If I can assist you with any real estate needs, I'm only a call or text away at 310.493.8333.

Is the Seller’s Market Here to Stay?

  It may seem as though the seller's market will stick around indefinitely, but as we know, change is one of the certainties of life. However, based on the hunger level for new listings, I believe similar market conditions will remain for another year or so. Sellers still have time to prepare their property for sale; buyers must participate or wait on the sidelines. However, there are some indications the white-hot market may be edging toward a cooling trend. Based on my experience, an offer I wrote at the beginning of 2021 received over twenty submissions; one written last week for a similar property and in a similar location and condition received only seven purchase offers. Yes, I know buyers will not find much comfort in those stats, but there was no frenzy in the most recent property presentation, whereas the earlier listing had a circus-like feel to the showing [...]

Some buyers wonder if it is time to take a seat and wait out the tight housing market. Real estate professionals point to low inventory--that old supply and demand rule from economics 101- when discussing why the seller's market continues to rule the housing marketplace.  Most consumers often have no reference point for historical inventory levels; here's the reality with real numbers. In October of 2019, 236 Palos Verdes single-family homes were for sale. Two years later, we have 76 single-family Palos Verdes homes for sale on the entire Peninsula. Every submarket on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, except for Rolling Hills, remains in a strong seller's market based on the statistics from earlier this month. Often, pending sales outnumber active listings. October 2021 Real Estate Market Sliders:   As we move deeper into the fourth quarter of 2021, inventory is showing a slight increase, and a few more listings are [...]

  The Palos Verdes housing market continues to burn bright for sellers, but there are signs of a slight shift in the air. I've noticed more price reductions and a growing number of days on the market for more than a few properties. These are early indicators of a change in the market. Maybe the pent-up housing demand the Pandemic unleashed is beginning to wane, or perhaps buyers decided to step away from the market for a breather after numerous failed attempts to purchase a property in the hot market of months past. Either way, buyer fatigue plays a role in the number of offers submitted as we enter the dog days of summer 2021. Sellers, don't worry, you have not missed the market, but it's always adapting to supply and demand. It is now a different market and requires adjustments. Preparing and pricing your property is more important than [...]
