I love the beach!!! Who doesn't really? It is my job to know every beach condo that is on the market, how long it has been on, what the HOA monthly dues are, how strong the reserves are, the neighbors, what you might be able to rent it out for and how much you can expect to pay each month to own it with the current interest rates. Currently there are 50 beach condos for sale from Manhattan Beach sand section to South Redondo. The average price is $664,654. The lowest price condo is in Hermosa Beach on Prospect listed for $450,000. It is a two bedroom in the Victorian with low HOA's. If you are looking to get your own beach condo contact me. I would love to help.   Rachelmtyndall@gmail.com

California independents could not vote for anyone! How is that for a surprise. For the people in other states...you may actually count yourself lucky. You may be hip high in snowbut notsnowedsnowed in by leaders(?) who have gone before to self serve their own interests.Republicans could only vote republican. So that is why I have changed by registration.Frustration, concerns, stuff in our state...such troublesThe worst,,,hidden lurking problem here is still the fact that somebody decided to make our power a private opportunity. Ungoverned, and guess what the private sector did with that....they just made money.The power plants planned to be dissasembled in Redondo Beach were started and then stopped. They sit as near obsolete chunks of metal painted with whales in an ironic shrine facin...

Each house has a different feel and each city. My last post was Hermosa Beach at Christmas and it looked like any day any month. Its really what they say about the Rose Bowl. People come here when they are showed in and watch our game here. But we really have a go at Christmas even without snow. Its raining now as I write this in the middle of the night in January. We have a whole Christmas lights area nearby that cars line up forever to see the lights. This neighbors home is alway dressed for every season. I sent you Halloween on a previous blog. Now I send you Christmas complete with Ferris Wheel. One side of this street in the "Avenues" has income property 2 on a lot selling in the 1.3+ range and the other side of the street has single family homes. We have  18 for sale from 599 to 2...

It starts with the mind....you have to run the show starting there...decide what you want to look like and choose what you want to do to make that happen.We are architects and directors of our LIVES!!!  Hooray!!! A lot of people know I started taking Isagenix products in June. That worked really well.here is a little about that. http://www.pope8.isagenix.com/  Cholesterol is in our family like the ads. I went from a  loose 12 to a tight 6 slacks.I kicked cola out!!!! of me. It involved changes a little at a time. I stopped drinking the famous drink Coke Cola. I am surprised I haven't gotten even a postcard from them. I can even buy it and have it for guests...and not drink it. That is big! However at 16 tbs of sugar you can be big from the habit. Diet drinks taste bad its kind of a tin ...

Weather in Redondo Beach. The big rain coming was news...so I didn't put my ad in the paper. And when the sun was out all weekend I just put up signsI did an open house Saturday and showed property Sat and Sunday. So, I am putting in ads for next weekend.Really, the weather report made it sound like we were going to get washed out into the ocean.Where is weather accountability? We walked to the ocean every morning and it was amazing. The big waves were making a surfing heaven for the tons of guys out there in Redondo Beach.  Weather touches us all whether or not it is what is expected.

Have you noticed the swing into sales in the last week? The South Bay means a lot of things in California. In Southern California it includes the 10-mile stretch of beaches called Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach. All three fall south of LAX airport. Something nice is slightly felt as buyers crept out of the woodwork last week and bought homes. Several sales happened with only a few days on the market. They were priced to sell. Then price was right on the nose. One had multiple offers and some had unique situations. Two were on streets where all you have to do is let the neighbors know its coming out for sale and you have buyers ready to leap. 17th Street in Manhattan Beach is one street families want to live on. Anything with an ocean view has then nod of buyers. Views ...

Look at this chart for South Bay Beach Cities and Palos Verdes Peninsula.  Do you see the price per square foot rising??? Yes, So do I. This is the average selling price per square foot in 2006-2007. SO New York City is not the only one that is going up in  2007-2008 for real estate sales prices.I took all the sold properties from Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Near PCH,, Hollywood Riveria, Hermosa Beach,Palos Verdes Peninsula. I used sale prices of $1,000,000.00 to $5,000.000.00 that sold in 2006-2007.Looks to me like high end luxury home sales market is still on the rise.. why don't they put that on the front street of the Los Angeles Times or Eyewitness News...Because tragedy sells... but as ususal we are blessed in the South Bay. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all of us home...

Walking and Real EstateI went to a seminar from a top Century 21 agent and what is the main thing I took away. WALKING. She has attended Tony Robbins and is coached by Mike Ferry and she gave us an example of her day. She starts with exercise, then reads and meditates. She writes out her goals for each day and at the end goes over her victories.  The next day I woke up my husband and we took off at 6 am across Pacific Coast Highway and down Avenue I straight out to the ocean at Redondo Beach. I saw two top agents; one was from our office Remax Execs South Bay. Maybe there is something to the early bird.  I think the body is our personal real estate and it's a good thing to take it out for a walk.Each day we walk over to the beach. The first day was foggy. The next day was brighter and t...

In the last year over 100 mortgage lenders have gone out of business due to the "mortgage meltdown" as most of you might now it is getting much more difficult to qualify for mortgages in Redondo Beach. The reason it is difficult to qualify for your Redondo Beach mortgage is because guidelines have changed drastically. Even reverse mortgages in Redondo Beach are getting harder to qualify for, leaving many looking for a honest mortgage company in Redondo Beach.Since many mortgage brokers in Redondo Beach are going out of business, and others are not able to get you qualified, you need to call a reputable company to help you with your home mortgage in Redondo Beach. We here at America One Mortgage Group are a national company headquartered out of Southern California. We have offices in man...

Which beach is the biggest? Redondo BeachWhich beach city is the biggest? Redondo BeachWhich beach city is the most diverse? Redondo BeachHere is a short version.I/2 is north and the other is southNorth is inland of Hermosa Beach. It has a lot of 2 on a lot's. Its cool and not cool in areas. Below Artesia Blvd. it is crowded. The Golden Hills Section has tall and skinny houses filling the streets with so little parking that you know you are near the beach. Above Artesia we have a lot of homes many new ones built 2 on a lot. Some are one million each!. Then the 50s homes on a lot 5 or 6oooK with yards look really good or really bad.

 Whenever people meet me and find out I am a realtor they ask me To predict the futureI read a lot so the influence is there along with my own experience here in the beach areas. Some things ring true from what I read. National Association of Realtors says prices will pick up in 2008. They reason it this way.Builders slowed down. There is a lot of property out there to buy right now, I see it here at the beach- Redondo, Manhattan and Hermosa Beaches. "Existing-home sales are projected to total 6.11 million in 2007 and 6.37 million in 2008, down from last year's total of 6.48 million"said NAR Senior Economist Lawrence YunI read this as a lot of houses..are selling. The interest rate bobbing up and down has made buyers bobb up and down too. However, houses are selling and sellers are givi...

Picture perfect.. this is the view along the water to the cliffs of Palos Verdes. Redondo is the largest and oldest of the beach cities.  At he turn of the century Redondo Beach was a resort destination for those who lived inland.   Today  Redondo is the most affordable of the local beach town in the South Bay.  Sales volume is down and the market time is longer but home prices held up well in most parts of the city. ** Data is from the Greater South Bay MLS and does not include property information that was not submitted to the MLS For more articles on Manhattan Beach and the beach cities vistit  Beach City Real Estate InfoAlso visit Kaye Thomas 4 Homes and Move2Manhattan BeachAll content copyright © 2007   Kaye Thomas

In Southern California winter is a great time for gardening.  Cooler, wetter winter months make it ideal for pruning, and fertilizing.  But no matter the season, when you are selling and showing your house, it's a good time for gardening.  Curb appeal is so important when selling your house.  You need the "wow factor" to get buyers excited about viewing your house.  Enhance curb appeal by livening the garden with color and texture and giving  buyers a beautiful scene to focus on.Begin by removing all dead plants and weeds.  Trim back overgrown plants and trees.  Trimming stimulates new growth and flower buds.Plant perennials that have color and shape year round whether or not they are in bloom or even produce flowers at all.  Don't rely on flowers only for garden curb appeal.  Hardy and...
