The real estate market in Manhattan Beach continues to be dictated by record low inventory and there doesn’t seem to be any indication that will change in the near future.

The chart below shows the combined areas that make up East Manhattan Beach with the light green line indicating active listings, the red bar pending home sales, and the dark green representing closed sales.
