Unlike most other South Bay cities, Torrance didn’t see nearly as significant a drop in the number of home sales in April. Some neighboring towns saw a 60% drop in home sales compared with the year earlier. Torrance seemed to be the exception with 81 homes sold in April compared with 99 a year earlier. That’s still a significant drop but, as mentioned, much better than others. The average days on market was only 24 before going into escrow and median sales price for the month was $792,000.
Homes We Like – 1716 Watson Avenue in Old Torrance
The home at 1716 Watson isn’t anything spectacular but we like it as it still retains some of it’s original charm but is somewhat of a blank slate for the future owners. This is a 3 bedroom 1 bath house with almost 1,400 square feet and is priced at $779,000. One potential drawback is the location…as it’s across the street from Torrance High School.

What’s Happening in the Torrance Real Estate Market?
Just like all cities and towns, the coronavirus uncertainty has impacted real estate in Torrance CA as well. We’re probably far more insulated than some other areas but there’s no doubt it’s playing a large role in the current market. April saw the fewest number of pending home sales in the past few years with only 45 homes going into escrow. Compare that with 11 pending sales a year earlier and it’s pretty clear we’re entering a much slower market. The real estate market in Old Torrance was equally impacted with only 1 home entering escrow during April compared with 4 the previous April and 5 just a month earlier.

The chart below shows the average price per square foot. Square footage in the South Bay often doesn’t mean as much as in other markets as values can vary so dramatically due to things such as proximity to the beach, views, specific neighborhoods.
