There have been a number of recent sales on the beachfront Strand in both Manhattan Beach and Hermosa which may be a welcome sign for the many listings that
have been on the market for long durations…years in some cases. There just are not that many buyers for this price range and with an abundance of homes on the market all seeming to attempt to price at record numbers…..many homes sit on the market.
This most recent sale was a rare condo so the price point was certainly very different from the single family and duplex properties on The Strand. 1144 The Strand #B closed at $3,500,000 after coming on the market in late 2020 for $4,500,000. The seller’s willingness to come down on price certainly played a role in getting it sold. It was a very large condo with almost 2,500 square feet and 3 bed/2 bath. The biggest challenge was that it had been undergoing a major renovation when put on the market so it was basically a construction site which eliminated any traditional financing and took a buyer with a lot of vision.

views……check, high end new construction…..check. We were excited to see this one hit the busy Strand home market. What’s hard not to notice about this home is the windows…..lots and lots of windows just as a beachfront home should have. 508 The Strand was Designed by Jon Starr & built by Steve Larkin. The 2021 built home offers 5 bedrooms 6 bathrooms and almost 4000 square feet. The views are, of course, unbelieveable and the builder when to great lengths to those views from just about every angle. 
wasn’t. The corner lot beachfront home at 1920 The Strand was far and away the high sale of the month at $16,250,000. Originally listed for $16,900,000 back in May of 2020 this was still a very impressive number given the big price reductions on just about any other Strand sale in the past year. The home was ideally located and offered 5 bedrooms, 7 baths and over 5,500 square feet.
