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.
Located at 4020 Bluff Place on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in the city of San Pedro, this magnificent oceanfront home is perched on the bluffs high above the Pacific Ocean and Cabrillo Beach. For the buyer priced out of the Strand in Manhattan Beach, or the cliffs of Palos Verdes this is an incredible opportunity at a fraction of the cost. Compare this to oceanfront prices starting at $5.0M in Palos Verdes, $4.5M price in Redondo Beach, and $13.0M in Hermosa and Manhattan Beach.
The dynamic views are completely unobstructed and extend to Dana Point and even north San Diego on especially clear days. The surf is literally in your backyard where you’ll hear the crashing waves, watch as kite surfers an sailboats ply the waters and enjoy the harbor lights in the evening. 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. The ground floor also offers a sizable bedroom with it’s own bathroom which is perfect for guest or owners needing a ground floor bedroom. The entire second floor is divided into two huge, finely appointed master suites with a kitchenette in between. Imagine being greeted every morning with an ocean view that will leave you breathless. The upper floor also enjoys an oversized balcony perfect for sitting and relaxing. With over 1000 sq ft of decks enjoy one of the most beautiful stretches of So Cal coastline! Cabrillo Beach is in full view and just a short walk from the house. For additional photos visit www.OceanfrontExecutiveRetreat.com

There is no question that due to the incredible rise in prices and the demand for new construction luxury homes, Manhattan Beach is definitely in a full blown building frenzy. Any original bungalow or “starter” home is quickly bought by builders with all cash, non contingent offers This was similar to the environment from 2005-2007 and it adds to the already challenging environment for home buyers.
So how is a buyer to compete?
The solution is to either be very patient, or very aggressive with offers and offer prices. In a seller’s market it always poses a real challenge to buyers but when builders begin buying all of the lowest priced homes, it adds an entirely different pressure on the market. Builders are generally fairly cautious with their numbers and unwilling to overpay, but in a market in which new home prices are beyond record levels, builders are willing to take risks on even marginal properties.
Home buyers do have the ability to come to the negotiating table with a different perspective, however. This ability to consider long term aspects may be the one advantage that they have. Home buyers in this luxury coastal community may need to overpay somewhat but can take confidence that even when the bubble burst several years ago, prices did not drop severely.
