Real Estate in the Beach Cities: California: Hawthorne

Currently there are only 5 townhomes on the market in Fusion which is a significant decrease from the summer.  Of the 5 two are short sale properties and the other 3 are standard sales.  There is currently one property in escrow but as it's a short sale there is no current set closing date.  Due to the potential litigation issues in Fusion there has only been one closed escrow since the beginning of the year.

To view the details of the current Fusion townhome listings including pictures and additional information visit our Fusion South Bay website.  Fusion is a great option for home buyers looking to be in a newer community, with proximity to the beach and coastal communities and is located in the Hawthorne neighborhood of Hollyglen and is part of the award winning Wiseburn School District.

Fusion South Bay, one of the few relatively newer construction complexes in the Beach Cities vicinity has been hit rather hard by a wave of short sale listings which have certainly impacted prices.  As the first wave of owners primarily bought when construction was finished in 2005-2007 unfortunately this was at the very peak of market prices.  Currently there are an abundance of listings with very few sales partly due to a potential litigation against the builder.  While certain lenders are still doing loans in Fusion, it has slowed down sales fairly dramatically compared with the brisk sales of late 2010.

There has only been one sale in the past few months and ironically the buyers flipped the home and it is now the only current pending sale.

If you are looking for new construction near the Beach Cities of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa, Redondo or El Segundo and are looking for a price near or below $500,000 your options are very limited.  Many home buyers looking for something like that go just east of Aviation to Fusion South Bay.  Built in 2005-2007, the homes are beautiful and modern and are priced hundreds of thousands cheaper than things in the neighboring cities.  Prices have generally ranged from the mid $400's for a smaller 2 bedroom to the high $600's for the largest 3 bedrooms but with a wave of foreclosures and short sales opportunity exists and inventory is high.  Currently there are 7 units on the market ranging from an unheard of $360,900 for a bank owned unit at 5512 #10 (see a map of the Fusion South Bay community) which is an A floorplan to $610,000 for a 3 bedroom home.   Click below for a list of the current Fusion townhomes for sale.

Single family home market update for February 3, 2001 It's a great time to be a buyer in Hollyglen and Del Aire with an abundance of homes on the market, both on the MLS and off market listings. The neighborhoods of Hollyglen and Del Aire are a fantastic option for couples and families who find themselves priced out of the South Bay market. Employees of the surrounding industrial parks such as Hughes, Northrop, Xerox, and TRW are also attracted to the short commute to work. To the rest of California, even to many South Bay residents, the area of Hollyglen and Del Aire is a well-kept secret. View Wiseburn School District information.

See below to see a month by month chart of the number of homes for sale vs the number of homes in escrow.

The Fusion South Bay real estate market has continued to be far more active than the surrounding areas with 7 homes having sold and closed escrow since mid April.  Of the 7 homes all were standard sales other than the home at 5401 W 149th Place #3 which was a short sale.  Eliminating the one short sale listing the average days on market was only 27 which is well below the area average.  

There is currently one 3 bedroom unit in escrow with a list price of $599,000 and was only on the market 7 days.  The 3 bedroom units are fairly rare and the demand is generally high.

Currently there are 2 active listings at 5406 149th Place #10 and just listed today (not on the list below) is 5401 149th Place #16 listed at $529,000.  Visit our Fusion active listingssite to see pictures, descriptions and floorplans

Fusion South Bay is a fantastic option for anyone considering the South Bay and wanting to be fairly near the ocean.  The homes were built from 2005-2007, are generally in good condition, have very low HOA fees, and the location is adjacent to Manhattan Beach.

The real estate market in Fusion South Baycontinues to be very active with 8 homes currently for sale and all but one of them in escrow.  Only the 2 bedroom unit at 5412 #10 is currently available with 7 homes currently at some point in the escrow process.  Fusion South Bay is a fantastic community built in 2006 and is in the Hollyglen neighborhood of Hawthorne, adjacent to Manhattan Beach.  Of the 8 homes only 2 are short sales which is very unusual for homes built in 2006 which was the peak of the South Bay market.  Visit our Fusion South Bay page for information on current homes for sale.

One of the more hidden neighborhoods in the South Bay is the area of Hawthorne known as Hollyglen.  With it's own award winning school system, tree lined and inviting neighborhoods with only single family home, and a great location Hollyglen is a great option for many buyers that find themselves priced out of nearby El Segundo, Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach.  As the area is fairly small and the demand is usually quite high, homes often sell quickly and prices have held firm.  The inventory of homes west of the 405 San Diego Freeway hasn't been this high in quite a while and the average days on market of 80 is very unusual.

Currently there are 6 active single family homes on the market with an additional 3 currently in escrow.  The average price of the active Hollyglen homes for sale is around $579,000, with the average of pending sales being $554,000.  Since September 2009 there have been 21 closed home sales with the average closing price being just under $524,000 and the homes can be viewed on our Hollyglen recent sales page.  View the current listings and pending sales below and click on any listing to see additional information.
