Real Estate in the Beach Cities

Never Underestimate the Emotions in Real Estate

Keith Kyle (South Bay Brokers) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:45:33 -0500

I had two recent closings that made me take a moment and really think about how real estate is more than just a transaction or deal. One was a short sale listing of mine and the other a standard sale. Both showed little to no emotion about selling the homes during most of escrow until the end, when the finality of closing escrow really means. The first, being a short sale, seemed mostly relieved that the sale may actually happen and they could move on with their lives. It didn't strike me just how emotional it was when I asked them if they could help the new owner open a door that seemed locked and the response was that it was just going to be too painful to go back. Even with a short sale it's still a home full of memories and emotions.

The second client of mine showed absolutely no emotion, but when it was the day of the "final look" she really had a hard time. We often get so caught up in the challenges of selling a home and navigating it through escrow that it's easy to forget that it's more than just a deal and it's the end of a chapter of someone's life. It's nice to be reminded of that once in a while.

Two Very Exciting Words......Standard Sale!

Keith Kyle (South Bay Brokers) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:46:39 -0500

I was responding to a comment on one of my foreclosure posts and the other Realtor had commented that foreclosures can be such a pain. There are no arguments here which led me to think about how excited I am when a client contacts me with real interest in a home and I look at the listing and it says "Standard Sale". I think there might literally be a sigh of relief. I have loads of experience with short sales but that sure doesn't mean I don't appreciate the simpler challenges of a standard sale.

Spotlight in Redondo - 615 Esplanade - The Sand Castle

Keith Kyle (South Bay Brokers) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:49:11 -0500

As part of our ongoing tour of South Redondo Beach real estate, today we take a look at one of the oceanfront condominium complexes in South Redondo Beach known as The Sand Castle. The Sandcastle is located at 615 Esplanade. The Sand Castle consists of two buildings with panoramic ocean views from both (the exception is the 5th floor which is actually the 1st floor of the rear building. The 5th floor does have views but overlooks the roof of the front building so no sand or wave views which makes that location more affordable and less valuable). The Sand Castle has 96 units of which most are 1 bedroom with 719 square feet. The layout has the bedroom in the back with the kitchen in the middle overlooking the living room in the front. As mentioned above most units directly overlook the sand and surf making this a great place to own as a beach house, rental unit, or vacation home.

Panoramic views and sounds of the ocean View of a 5th floor unit with partial views

There are a few larger units but sales are very rare with the last 2 bedroom selling in 2007 for $772,500 and a very unique 4 bedroom penthouse (was originally 2 2 bedroom unitsthat were combined) selling in 2010 for over $1.5M. The larger 2 bedrooms are only top floor units (both buildings) so views are unbelievable. One bedroom units have sold for a low of $335,000 for a bank owned on the 5th floor (limited views) to over $600,000 for a remodeled oceanfront unit.

South Redondo Bank Owned - Foreclosure Update

Keith Kyle (South Bay Brokers) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 11:40:01 -0500

The number of bank owned homes in South Redondo Beach has continued to be steady with any new pending or closed sales quickly being replaced with new listings and the overall number generally hovering under 10. While bank owned homes, or REOs (Real Estate Owned) may not be quite the discounted price that is often seen in short sales, much of the delays, unknowns and aggrevations are alleviated. Currently ther are 6 bank owned homes on the market with all of them being townhomes or foreclosures. For an updated list of the foreclosures and short sales in Redondo Beach visit our distressed property page.

Great weekend for Redondo Beach Open Houses....January 21st and 22nd

Keith Kyle (South Bay Brokers) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:07:25 -0500

Whether you're looking for something oceanfront on the Esplanade or an entry level condo in Brookside Village, there is ample opportunity to take a look at your future home in Redondo Beach this weekend. The market has picked up and there are a lot of homes to see.

El Camino Village Real Estate - By the Numbers

Keith Kyle (South Bay Brokers) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 13:24:24 -0500

El Camino Village is a small pocket of Lawndale and Gardena with a very different feel than the surrounding areas. I is an unincorporate part of LA with mailing addresses in both Gardena and Lawndale and the area is bordered by Crenshaw Blvd to the east, Prarie to the West, Manhattan Beach Blvd to the south and Marine Ave to the north. El Camino Village has a very unique neighborhood feel with a wonderful quality of livng as it is a very walkable neighborhood with local schools often just around the corner, and is primarily zoned for single family homes only with very few larger apartment buildings.

El Camino Village Real Estate - By the Numbers (as of January 19, 2012)

Active SFR home listings - 6 - Median price $300,000 - Avg Days on Market - 74
Pending SFR home listings - 4 - Median price of $287,000
Sold SFR homes since December 2011 -8 - Median price $390,000 - Avg Days on Market 73

Keep in mind median prices are skewed by the sizes of the homes as the recently sold homes were almost all large for the area while the active listings are very small for the area with most only 2 bedrooms.

To view all El Camino Village and Bodger Park MLS listings view our El Camino Village website.

See below for a home tour for one of my past listings in El Camino Village. This is a fairly typical home for the area.

This house is a must see!.....Subject to interior inspection.

Keith Kyle (South Bay Brokers) — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 11:06:10 -0500

I feel like I've seen this a lot lately but I just came across this again today and every time I see it I have to wonder. What are you thinking? In addition to pointing out that this is a "must see" but there is no access to the home, there are no pictures! Why in the world would I want to promote this to my buyers? This latest one goes so far as stating "Don't wait bring your clients". Bring my clients....to see the outside?

We've all dealt with less than eager tenants and with multi unit properties I understand that the reality is often that it's going to be subject to inspection, but if I can't see it.....don't tell me it's a MUST SEE! A picture might help as well.

The Weather is so Delightful....Manhattan Beach open houses

Keith Kyle (South Bay Brokers) — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 18:29:29 -0500

Why not take advantage of our winter wonderland (70 degrees and beachy) and visit this weekends open house in Manhattan Beach? The Manhattan Beach real estate market has been picking up steam and other than a distinct lack of inventory, it's a great market for buyers. See our Manhattan Beach open house list below or visit our South Bay open house site to see open house in Hermosa Beach, Redondo and neighboring cities. This week offers just about everything from 3 townhomes available to see in Manhattan Village, to an abundance of luxury homes, to oceanfront homes on the ocean front walk known as The Strand.

How can someone with such a low Google Page Rank show up so high?

Keith Kyle (South Bay Brokers) — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 15:49:13 -0400

I was looking at the competition today and typed in some keywords in Google and had a page show up that I really didn't understand. Other than the domain name, which was pretty ideal and probably purchased long ago, the site was pretty terrible, didn't appear optimized in any way, and had a very low page rank. I'm sure the mysteries of the Google algorithm are what gets many SEO experts paid, but this just didn't seem to make sense to me. How can such a bad, low ranking site, show up so high...just the domain name? I thought Google was smarter than that?
