As of this post, there are 30 active listing in Hermosa Beach CA 90254. There are also 24 properties in escrow. (MLS status "backup" or "pending".) So far in 2014, there have been 16 closed sales of which 12 were in January and 4 so far in February.
Here's what gets my attention. There were in effect 10 new listings last week (2 are already under contract). Even so, if 8 out of 30 active listings are less than 7 days old and that trend holds, it could be a very good indication as to more inventory being available in Hermosa Beach going forward into the spring and summer selling seasons. On the other hand, if sales stay below 20 units per month, it may depress prices.
These are the new listings for the week of February 10th that are still available:
Hermosa, like Manhattan Beach CA, is becoming a $1M plus market for all intents and purposes. Where we see the differential is that for that price point and certianly $1.2M to $1.5M you get a lot more for your money in Hermosa than Manhattan. And 90254 still has some excellent values under those price points.
For example, one of my favorite townhouse complexes is "The Moorings" at 501 Herondo Street right on the border of the Sand Section and Hermosa Valley. A new listing came on the market there this week, Unit 30. Here's the description in the MLS:
"Get ready to enjoy all that living in Hermosa Beach has to offer! This spacious, east/west facing, poolside townhome at the Moorings complex provides the perfect venue for comfortable at-home living, yet you're minutes away from a mecca of outdoor activities...the beach, greenbelt, downtown shopping and dining! Generous, open living space, with hardwood floors, fireplace, recessed lighting, skylights, plantation shutters and newer maple cabinetry in the kitchen. The dual upstairs master suites are richly carpeted and each with full baths. Bonus room downstairs, off the 2-car direct access garage, can easily become your much needed office, gym or wine cellar. Complex offers sparkling pool & spa, HOA pays earthquake insurance, water & trash. Why live anywhere else?"
This unit is priced at $755K and is 1439 sq ft. Yes, it is a 2 bedroom but there is some extra space off the garage in that bonus room. So. basically you are paying just a bit more than North Redondo Beach prices to be less than a five minute walk to the Strand. Should sell fast. MLS SB14031057.
If you want to double the price and go up to $1,549,000 I would recommend taking a look at 1103 Cypress. This attached Sand Section townhouse was just built in 2013.

Moving further east, I'm really curious as to how the market responds to 1234 6th St in East Hermosa Beach. It is a an absolutely stunning property that is literally on the Hermosa-Redondo Bech border. WIth a listing price of $1,649M I'm wondering if buyers will opt for a similar house in East Manhattan Beach instead. Time will tell and I wish the listing agents luck on this one.
"Enjoy colorful sunsets, ocean views and city lights for Palos Verdes Peninsula and downtown Los Angeles from this home’s roof-top deck, a perfect place for BBQ’s and entertaining. Featured throughout the home are high-end finishes… crème de marfil stone, Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, granite counter tops, wide baseboards, designer moldings, soaring vaulted ceilings and central air conditioning.
