Benefits of Staging🖼️
☑️ Buyers can visualize the space, which leads to more offers. Most buyers do not have a lot of imagination so they can’t picture themselves living in a vacant home and typically they think the space is smaller than what it actually is😢
☑️Staged Homes spend 73% less time on the market than non-staged homes. I was selling a development with three almost identical units with only one unit staged. The staged unit sold within two weeks and the others sat. As soon as we moved the staging to the next unit the unit sold within two weeks and when we moved to the final unit the same thing. This was eye opening because these were almost identical units and they had a model unit to reference!
☑️Staged Homes typically get up to a 25% higher sales price than non-staged homes. We live in the Pinterest and Instagram era where aesthetics are very important especially to the Millenial and Gen Z generations.

Home Financing
Purchasing a home in Redondo Beach is not only about finding the perfect property, but also about securing the best financing options.

By understanding the different types of home financing available, you can choose the most suitable option for your needs. We are aligned with several different lenders that provide a plethora of loan programs and options for our clients.
The pre-approval process is another crucial aspect of home financing and involves a lender evaluating a potential borrower’s creditworthiness and financial situation to determine their eligibility for a loan. This includes reviewing the borrower’s credit score, income, assets, and other financial information to assess their suitability for a loan. By obtaining pre-approval, you can have a clearer idea of your budget and show sellers that you are a serious and qualified buyer.
Mortgage Options
In Redondo Beach, a variety of mortgage options are available to suit your unique financial needs. These options include fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, jumbo, conventional (conforming and non-conforming), and hard money loans. Each type of mortgage offers specific benefits and requirements, so it’s essential to carefully consider which option best aligns with your financial situation and home-buying goals.
The pre-approval process, as mentioned earlier, is a critical step in securing a mortgage. By obtaining pre-approval, you can demonstrate your financial suitability to sellers, making your offer more attractive. Additionally, the pre-approval process gives you a clear understanding of your borrowing capacity, helping you set a realistic budget for your home search.
Pre-Approval Process
The pre-approval process for home financing involves assessing your income, assets, and credit score to determine the loans you could be approved for, the amount you can borrow, and the interest rate. Upon pre-approval, you will receive a pre-approval letter, which is an offer (but not a commitment) to lend you a specific amount, valid for 90 days.
To ensure a successful pre-approval process, it is important to gather all required documents prior to applying, review your credit report for accuracy, and compare loan terms from various lenders. Additionally, it is essential to be truthful and precise when completing the application, as any discrepancies may cause delays in the process.
Working with a Mortgage Broker
Engaging a mortgage broker in Redondo Beach can offer access to competitive wholesale rates, a range of loan programs, and tailored advice to suit your requirements. Mortgage brokers have access to numerous lenders and loan programs, which can save you time and energy by sourcing multiple lenders to secure the most favorable deal.

By collaborating with a mortgage broker, you can ensure a smooth and successful home financing experience in Redondo Beach.
Submitting an Offer

This includes understanding the components of the offer, developing effective negotiation strategies, and closing the deal. By familiarizing yourself with these aspects, you can confidently negotiate and finalize the purchase of your new home with your Redondo Beach real estate agent.
When preparing to submit an offer, it is important to consider your personal scenario, the needs of the seller, timeline and competition. When working with an experienced agent, they will communicate with the listing agent prior to submitting the offer so they have all the details necessary to write a competitive offer. Be prepared to discuss the details of the offer over the phone before committing anything to paper. By employing effective negotiation strategies and maintaining emotional control during the process, you can secure the best possible deal on your new home in Redondo Beach.

The major components of the offer will be the offer price, the escrow time period, down payment, loan terms and contingency time frames. By understanding these components, you can write a more competitive offer if necessary and ensure that it aligns with your expectations and financial goals as well as the seller's expectations and goals.
Negotiation Strategies
Effective negotiation strategies are crucial for securing the best deal on your dream home. When making an offer, consider the prevailing market conditions, the listing price, the condition of the property, and any other factors that may influence the sale. Additionally, take into account the seller’s motivation and any other offers that may be available.
To develop a non-commercial solution that is satisfactory to all parties, it is essential to remain open to compromise. Consider the needs of all parties involved and strive to find a mutually beneficial solution. By maintaining a composed and professional demeanor throughout the negotiation process, you can successfully navigate the negotiation process and secure the best possible deal on your dream home.

Independently Reviewed Properties
Evaluating independently reviewed properties when acquiring a home is of great importance as it offers an impartial and reliable appraisal of the property. This facilitates a hassle-free home buying experience and helps to ensure that you are making a well-informed decision based on information deemed reliable.
By conducting an independent review of real estate properties, you can gain additional peace of mind and confidence in your purchase. Home inspections, appraisals, and title searches are essential components of the independent review process. A thorough home inspection can detect any prospective problems with the property, while appraisals and title searches can confirm the property’s worth in comparison to the asking price.
By incorporating these steps into your home buying journey, you can ensure a smooth and successful experience in Redondo Beach.
Home Inspections
A home inspection is a crucial step in the home buying process, as it can reveal potential issues with the property that may not be visible to the naked eye. During the inspection, a qualified home inspector will meticulously examine the home’s roof, plumbing, HVAC system, electrical system, structure, and overall condition.
To identify a qualified home inspector, investigate their credentials and experience, request references, and read reviews from past clients. Additionally, ensure that the inspector is licensed and insured. By engaging the services of a trustworthy and experienced home inspector, you can gain valuable insights into the condition of your potential new home and address any issues before finalizing the purchase.
Appraisals
Appraisals play a vital role in determining a property’s fair market value, providing an impartial opinion of the property’s value based on an on-site evaluation, investigation of analogous properties’ recent sales, and prevailing market trends. The data required for an appraisal includes information regarding the property, recent sales of analogous properties, current market trends, and other factors.
The appraisal process involves specifying the purpose, identifying the data required and its various sources, collecting, documenting, and validating the data, including the reference id.

There's a lot of misinformation in the media about what is happening in the real estate market, but it's very important to look at the numbers of the local market to know what's really happening. The April market report does not indicate we are in a crash in the South Bay Los Angeles area. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Historically, average yearly appreciation lies somewhere between 3 and 5% and that is the case with most South Bay markets with a couple exceptions. The big issue that we continue to face is a lack of inventory.
A few things to note when looking at these stats. A 6-Month Supply would be a Balanced Market. Less than a 6-month supply is a Seller’s Market and more than a 6-month supply is a buyer’s market. Year over Year appreciation is up in almost all areas of the South Bay except Torrance & Rancho Palos Verdes. Last Spring was a market peak with very high prices so that’s not surprising.
Redondo Beach Real Estate Market: The number of homes sold is down 44% from just one year ago with only 42 homes sold in April. The median days on market increased 50% from a year ago to 12 days, which is still very low. Inventory is up 73% from a year ago in Redondo Beach at a 2.1 month supply, but this is still super low. A balanced market would have a 6-month supply of inventory so we are still in a seller’s market. The median sold price was $1,580,000, which is up 25% from March 2023 and 4.1% from April 2022.
Hermosa Beach Real Estate Market: The number of homes sold is down 7.1% from one year ago with only 13 homes sold. The median days on market increased 50% from a year ago to 12 days- again historically low. Inventory is up 33% from one year ago to a 3.2 month supply. The median sold price was $2,089,500, which is down 4.6% from March 2023, but up 5.7% from April 2022. You will see fluctuations in this number because with only 12 homes sold there isn’t much to compare.
Manhattan Beach Real Estate Market: The number of homes sold is down 32% from one year ago with only 25 homes sold in April. The median days on market is up 8.3% from one year ago, but still only at only 13 days. Inventory is up 68% to 2.7 months of inventory, which is still indicative of a seller’s market. The median sold price was $3.4M up 31% from March 2023 and up 16% from April 2022.
El Segundo Real Estate Market: The number of homes sold is down 67% from one year ago with only 5 homes sold in April. The median days on market increased 133% from a year ago to 21 days on market. Inventory is up 218% to 3.6 months of inventory. The median sold price in El Segundo was $1.775M up 4.4% year over year and 57% month over month.
Rancho Palos Verdes Real Estate Market: The number of homes sold is down 50% from one year ago with only 23 homes sold in April. The median days on market increased 238% to 27 days. Inventory is up 50% from one year ago to a 2.3 month supply. The median sold price was $1,797,500 and up 16% month over month, but down 1.6% year over year.
Torrance Real Estate Market: The number of homes sold is down 42% from one year ago with 75 homes sold in April. The median days on market increased 25% to 10 days. Inventory was up 81% to a 1.7 month supply. And the median sold price was $1,012,500, which was down 1.8% year over year and down 0.5% month over month.

In the first quarter of the year, the Los Angeles median home price was down. Closings for those months would have went into escrow 30-60 days prior so January closings likely went into escrow in November or December, which is usually a slower time in the real estate market although post pandemic there wasn’t a slow time.🏡 April was a different story with the median sales price on the upswing. I didn’t think we would go back to a world with double digit offers anytime soon, but I was wrong. The Spring market has taken off and multiple offers, high bids and quick sales are back. Most people who bought between November and February got a killer deal when people were shying away because of uncertainty. That’s understandable, but when you are in a position to buy take advantage of the opportunities and don’t wait to follow the pack because those opportunities are sometimes short lived and we never know which way the pendulum will swing! ☀️🌴🌸

Hollyglen is a small suburban neighborhood in the South Bay of Los Angeles California that you may have never heard of because it’s a total hidden gem, but you are in luck because we are letting you in on the secret!
City of Hawthorne
The city of Hawthorne is located within a 17 city region commonly called the south bay which is south of the Santa Monica Bay and LAX in the southwest corner of Los Angeles county.
Back in 2019, CNBC ranked Hawthorne one of the best places to buy a home in Los Angeles based on value, livability and quality of life.
Hawthorne has a population of 88,083 and a population density of 14,440 inhabitants per square mile. Hawthorne has a median household income of $63,847, a median single family home sale price of 780K and median sales price of a condo or townhouse is $725K as of March 2023.
Hawthorne (specifically Hollyglen) is also the home of the Beach Boys!
Hollyglen
Hollyglen is the premier neighborhood within the city of Hawthorne located west of the 405 (aka the San Diego Freeway) , east of Aviation Boulevard between El Segundo Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue. This area is bordered by the city of El Segundo, Manhattan Beach and the unincorporated Del Aire neighborhood. The median sales price of single family home in this neighborhood is $1.2M while the median sales price of a condo or townhouse is $960K as of March 2023.
South of Wiseburn Street between the 405 , Aviation boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue is a very small single-family home neighborhood. Less than 35 homes are sold every year in this neighborhood.
There are also two HOA communities- Fusion and Three Sixty South Bay located in Hollyglen.
Why Hollyglen
A big draw to Hollyglen is the location, price point and school district. You are located just a few blocks from the city of Manhattan Beach, which is one of the most affluent areas in Los Angeles and a prime location. You are just 3 miles to the beach, 5 miles to LAX, close to the 405 and 105, less than 2 miles to Manhattan Village and the Point. You have an abundance of shopping and restaurants close by- you even have a Costco right across the street!
There is also a number of great parks in or near by Hollyglen. Holly Glen Park was recently given a facelift and now has tennis courts, basketball courts, picnic area and playground. There is Glasgow Park which has a 1.3 mile walking trail with work out stations along the path. Many residents enjoy walking the dogs here. Polliwog Park is located just down the street in Manhattan Beach and has a duck pond, events, playground, baseball field, etc. Basically everything you need is within minutes from Hollyglen
Single Family homes in this neighborhood on average sell in a range between $1 and $1.5M. There are a few homes that have sold higher that were rebuilt, but for the most part you are looking in that price range versus Manhattan Beach where the median single family home price for March 2023 was $2.8M.
The house in the video below is a 1950's house in the best location in Hollyglen. We sold this home for $1.399M in October 2022 . Check out the tour so you can get an idea of what you get at this price point.
Location
Your location in Hollyglen does dictate the sale price. Homes that are west of Isis typically get a higher price than east of Isis because you are closer to the 405 when you are east of Isis.
Also, if your home backs up to one of the major streets surrounding the neighborhood your home will sell at a slightly lower price point as well.
Housing Characteristic
There are 3 main floor plans in Hollyglen with a majority of the homes being built in the 1950s.
However east of Isis there are some larger homes that were built in the 1980s and you do have some homes here and there that are newer construction. Most of the homes in the neighborhood are under 2000 SF and on 5000 SF lots, but you do have some larger lots over 7000 SF throughout the neighborhood and some larger homes. The most common home size is a 3 BR/2 BA/1500 SF home on a 5000 SF lot.
The are many homes that are being remodeled and rebuilt as they are sold, which I predict will continue to happen because this is one of the more affordable neighborhoods in the South Bay where you have great schools.
Community
The community is a mix. You have a a lot of young families and more moving in, but you also have people that have lived in the community for a long time.
It's a very family friendly and community focused neighborhood. It reminds me of neighborhoods in the Midwest because you have block parties, fireworks, haunted houses, mom meetups and movie nights just to name a few. People are always out walking their dogs, pushing strollers and the neighbors are very friendly.
Wiseburn School District
A big differentiator for residents of Hollyglen vs. most of Hawthorne is that Hollyglen is located in the Wiseburn School District. Wiseburn School District is a top-rated school district in the Los Angeles area. In Los Angeles county the Wiseburn School District is top 10 for diversity and top 25 for best school districts and best teachers!
Elementary Schools
For elementary schools you have Juan De Anza Elementary, which is K-5, Peter Burnett Elementary, which is 3rd-5th grade and Da Vinci Connect, which is K-8.
Middle Schools
For middle schools you have Richard Henry Dana Middle School and Da Vinci Connect.
High School
The Davinci High School is a charter school that has a home school/classroom hybrid model that focuses on project based learning that is highly sought after and rated a 10 on Greatschools.org. There are families moving into the district specifically for this school.
Employers
Hawthorne has a lot of top businesses that have moved in as well. SpaceX, Amazon, and a number of tech companies have made Hawthorne their home. You also have Los Angeles Airforce base, Raytheon and Northrop Grumman on the border of neighboring city El Segundo so that is a selling point as well.
