March 25, 2018 by Keith Kyle

Listed by Mori Beiner of Vista Sotheby’s International Realty, this epic coastal modern has everything for the luxury beach lifestyle: Ocean views and breezes, fabulous entertaining spaces and top-of-the-line everything. Completed in 2008, this warm, custom-built home by Steve Lazar was elegantly upgraded post-purchase by the owners with designer finishes, custom lighting and audio systems, built-ins and a full-feature Crestron smart-home automation system (audiovisual, HVAC, lighting, security and more).

Upstairs, you can see the ocean while lying down in the master bedroom. Master also features a seating area and a simply smashing bath with rain shower, body sprays and jetted tub. Just outside the other three bedrooms is a “kids’ lounge” with ample room for a sofa and TV. The top floor has floor-to-ceiling glass showcasing major ocean views spanning all the way out to Malibu.

Think you can’t have it all? Off Market Listing at 2104 Palm Ave in Manhattan Beach

May 12, 2015 by Keith Kyle

One thing the Manhattan Beach homes don’t always offer the luxury home buyer is space. There are the occasional oversized lots in the hill section but other than that there just isn’t just much in the way of the great outdoors.

That’s certainly not the case with the rare opportunity offered at 2104 Palm Ave in the tree section of Manhattan Beach. Currently off market and not on the MLS, this home sits on two adjacent lots offering a beautiful home and not only a yard, but a yard that most local soccer teams would be envious of. The home itself offers almost 4500 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 6 baths and the combined lot size is almost 10,000 feet which is almost unheard of in this part of town. Built in 2006, the home has been meticulously maintained and updated and offers a pool and spa in addition to the best sports court that you can imagine. Not currently on the market, the home is for sale at $7,999,000 with listing agent Greg Maffei of Re/Max.

The home can be shown to qualified buyers. Please contact us for a private showing and find out more about this very rare opportunity. Contact us to see other Manhattan Beach pocket listings and off market homes before they hit the market.

Only 25 Homes for Sale in All of Manhattan Beach

January 6, 2015 by Keith Kyle

While the market is always slow over the holidays and homeowners often take their homes off of the market for a few weeks, the inventory in Manhattan Beach has reached a new low. As of January 5th there are only 28 homes for sale in all of Manhattan Beach.

Compare that with a high of 189 homes for sale in May of 2010 and you can see just how drastic the market changes have been. Even the summer months (with traditionally the highest inventory as it’s a peak buying season) had 68 homes for sale during the months of July and August.

So what does this mean?…..well that depends on which side of the market you’re on

For sellers the demand is incredible. Prices are at peak levels, sellers are receiving multiple offers on homes priced at market value, buyers are willing to overlook the usual challenges such as busy streets, homes needing updates, and homes with ideal locations or potential are having some amazing bidding wars. See our recent post on the walkstreet, half lot home that sold for almost $600K over list price. If homeowners have given any thought to selling their home, regardless of area, condition and location, it’s an ideal time to sell.

For buyers the market has been incredibly challenging with some buyers simply taking a break from the madness. Builders are buying any home in Manhattan Beach that hasn’t been built in the past 25 years at big numbers, buyers are lined up in certain neighborhoods waiting for the next listing to hit the market (if the home even hits the market as pocket listings are becoming more common in this market) and entry level homes no longer exist.

In this market buyers have to be aggressive if they really want to own a home in Manhattan and need to be even more aggressive for premier properties. Knowing about homes the minute they hit the market, or even before is critical and understanding pricing can make all the difference.

Contact us if you are an eager seller, or frustrated buyer, as we have a deep understanding of the market and can certainly help.

The beautiful custom home was built in 2000 and was extensively remodeled in 2011. It is one of a kind and offers the feel of a luxury hotel….with unparalleled views. Surrounded by mature landscaping and a very limited number of neighboring properties, the home affords a sense of privacy and seclusion not often found in the South Bay. The ground floor offers a spacious and open floor plan with lovely new hardwood floors, marble fireplace, and spacious living and dining rooms…all with spectacular views. The open kitchen has all new stainless steel appliances, custom white wash cabinets, and new Italian marble countertops. The 30 foot wide floor to ceiling sliding glass doors open onto the expansive entertainment deck and the ocean beyond.

Pocket and Off Market Listings in Manhattan Beach May Be Best Bet for Buyers

April 1, 2014 by Keith Kyle

By Keith Kyle

It seems that in the luxury home market of Manhattan Beach, CA the only way to successfully buy a home may be to find out about it before it goes on the market. With the record low inventory and pent up demand for housing in this upscale coastal community we are seeing many listings see many listings selling almost immediately with multiple offers, often all cash and well over the list price. So how does a buyer compete? It may come down to just how well connected your realtor is…

In a normal market knowing about listings immediately is critical, but in this market that may just be too late. It pays to find a successful local realtor that may have the inside track into “pocket” listings, or listings that haven’t come on the market yet. We strive to help our buyers find a home through the traditional home search on the MLS, to customized daily updates, to actively seeking out off market listings. If you would like our help please fill out the brief form below and we can start helping you with your home search.
