We recently posted about the home prices for November in the Hollywood Riviera.  Two key metrics we've been following is whether homes are selling for under or over the list prices and also how long homes are sitting on the market. Decisions can be made from these numbers....what's the market doing, where's it heading....is it a buyer's market or seller's market?Sometimes one or two sales in a month can dramatically skew these number's however, and don't paint an accurate picture of market conditions. The Hollywood Riviera in November was a perfect example. Unlike recent months the average "sold" prices were actually lower than the "list" price.  Average days on market was also 70 for the homes that sold which is well higher than previous months.  Both potentially indicate that the mark... 12/08/2021

Welcome to our favorite street in the South Bay.....Paseo De La Playa.Paseo De La Playa is the blufftop oceanfront street in the Hollywood Riviera and offers homes that simply offer the best of all worlds.Unlike the homes on The Strand in Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach, there are no curious onlookers biking or walking by to peer in your windows. Unlike the oceanfront homes in Palos Verdes, the Hollywood Riviera is much closer to the beaches, dining, shopping and activities of the South Bay. The beach is just a short walk away, Riviera Village is just down the hill and it's also much closer for commuters.The homes on the west side of Paseo were mostly built in the 50s and 60s on leased land. This was not the luxury location it is now and the homes had little charm or customization (pi... 12/06/2020

The Hollywood Riviera is an ideal place to call home for many reasons but certainly high on the list is the location.View the current homes for sale in the Hollywood RivieraSitting between the beach and the hills of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, the Riviera gets the best of both worlds.  It's just a short walk to the beach but the sloping hillside location makes for some tremendous ocean views and beach breezes.  The area actually extends all the way to the ocean as one of the premier streets, Paseo De La Playa, has a number of spectacular homes with large properties extending to the high tide line along Torrance Beach.   While the beach and the views are certainly a highlight, there's plenty of reasons that the neighborhood is ideally situated.  As it's on the border of the South Bay and... 01/24/2020

Ocean views  add tremendous value to homes in the South Bay, but with liberal building codes and the "mansionization" these views are rarely protected.   These ocean views have immeasurable value from both a quality of life aspect as well as a significant monetary impact.  In many of the South Bay cities, especially in Hermosa and Manhattan Beach, these views are unprotected and it's not rare for a home's stunning ocean views to eventually get completely blocked as more new construction, far larger than the original beach bungalows in the area, are built. Certain areas of Torrance are the exception.   One of these areas gets a bit confusing as it has a Redondo Beach zip code but is actually located in the city of Torrance and the area is known as the Hollywood Riviera.  This area has in... 05/05/2014
