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 [...]

2025 – That’s a Wrap!

The global situation in 2026 is too large to tackle, so let's discuss what's happening on our peninsula, in our towns, and in our backyards. The real estate market experienced a few rumbles of its own, with buyers pushing the pause button and sellers facing more days on market than expected. It was a year of changing market conditions. There are currently 84 single-family homes for sale on the entire Palos Verdes Peninsula. 33 single-family homes are in escrow with accepted offers, and 551 single-family homes were sold on the Palos Verdes Peninsula during 2025.  Those numbers reflect PV real estate conditions that still favor sellers, but buyers have more negotiating power than in recent years. Homes are still selling, but not as quickly, and prices remain strong. The most expensive 2025 sale on "The Hill" was a residence in Palos Verdes Estates that sold for over $12,000,000. Only five [...]

Palos Verdes Real Estate Report – Fall 2025

By |2025-09-02T09:25:45-07:00September 2nd, 2025|Charlemagne Int'l Properties, Featured Articles, Los Angeles luxury listing agent, Luxury Homes, Palos Verdes Coastal Homes, Palos Verdes Housing Report, Selling your Palos Verdes Home, selling your palos verdes luxury home, Selling your Rancho Palos Verdes Home, Seniors Selling Primary Residence, South Bay of Los Angeles Homes For Sale, Top Palos Verdes Listing Agents|

  Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn! If you're like me, you are ready for some cooler weather, and a cooling of interest rates would be a nice bonus as we step into September and prepare for the fall real estate market. What market conditions can we expect? September and October usually bring an uptick in both listings and sales, as people return to their regular routines after summer vacations. If there is an interest rate cut, I expect many sidelined buyers will restart their home search. This could be a good fall for both buyers and sellers. Although Palos Verdes' single-family inventory is up, the absorption rate is strong, and the overall market still favors sellers. The days of multiple offers may be in the past, but more than 350 homes in Palos Verdes have sold year-to-date.   There are currently 194 PV single-family homes for sale (as of late August), [...]

2024 Palos Verdes Real Estate Sales

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 [...]

What’s New and What’s Old in PV Real Estate

By |2023-10-12T09:45:49-07:00October 4th, 2023|Charlemagne Int'l Properties, Featured Articles, Los Angeles luxury listing agent, Palos Verdes Coastal Homes, Palos Verdes Estates Report, Palos Verdes Housing Report, Palos Verdes Housing Snapshot, Palos Verdes Luxury Homes, Selling your Rancho Palos Verdes Home, Seniors Selling Primary Residence, Top Palos Verdes Listing Agents|

This is New: Over 100 Palos Verdes single-family homes are for sale. This is Old:  Palos Verdes is still a seller's market with 114 single-family homes for sale and 59 properties in escrow with accepted offers. The luxury market, those properties priced at or above $5,000,000, is the only sub-market in Palos Verdes in a neutral market favoring neither the seller nor the buyer. With 23 luxury homes for sale and only six in escrow with accepted offers, it's an excellent time to shop for a Palos Verdes luxury home. New Market Trends: More price reductions daily and days on the market are also increasing slightly. Sellers have more competition, and the buyer pool is shrinking due to high interest rates and higher home prices. How to Sell in this Market:  Polish every inch of your property, price it right, and work with an experienced professional to showcase your home [...]

Spring 2023 Palos Verdes Market Report

I'm singing the same old low inventory song; only 59 Palos Verdes single-family homes are for sale on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.  Also, there are 59 PV single-family homes in escrow with accepted offers. It's easy to see only a one-month housing inventory supply is available to buyers. With those numbers, Palos Verdes remains a seller's market as we enter the spring buying (and selling) season.

Winter 2023 Palos Verdes Real Estate Market Report

By |2023-01-09T12:26:16-08:00January 9th, 2023|Charlemagne Int'l Properties, Featured Articles, Los Angeles luxury listing agent, Luxury Homes, Palos Verdes Coastal Homes, Palos Verdes Housing Report, Palos Verdes Housing Snapshot, Palos Verdes Market Snapshot, Palos Verdes top real estate agents, Rancho Palos Verdes Listing Agent, Rolling Hills Horse Property, Selling your Palos Verdes Home, selling your palos verdes luxury home, Selling your Rancho Palos Verdes Home, Seniors Selling Primary Residence, Top Palos Verdes Listing Agents|

The real estate roller coaster moved at breakneck speed during 2022. The year began with multiple offers over the asking price on most new listings. That zoo-like atmosphere continued until late spring. The summer months ushered the hot market to the sidelines as interest rates began to climb. Fall arrived with the realization that although sales were decreasing, prices were holding steady due to the low inventory of houses for sale on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. For buyers, this delivered a double blow to their finances; the higher cost of borrowing and the still high cost of buying a home resulted in many buyers taking a wait-and-see attitude.   As the market settles into these new conditions, patience and cooperation are essential. Yes, properties are selling, but negotiating is once again in vogue. The local Palos Verdes real estate market still favors sellers, but buyers have more negotiating power than [...]

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 [...]
