Torrance Real Estate Update – May 2020 Home Sales and House Prices

by Leave a Comment

The real estate market numbers are in for May and they paint a very interesting picture. The number of home sales during the month was way down with only 49 total on market closed escrows. Compare that with 123 home sales in May of 2019 and it’s hard to dispute that the concerns and uncertainties of the coronavirus hasn’t had a major impact. That being said the prices were very impressive indicating a very strong seller’s market.  One very interesting number was pending home sales.  The pending home sales in Torrance jumped from 45 to 100 between April in May indicating a quick return to the normal hot market in Torrance.

The median list price was $789,900 while the median sold price was $810,000 meaning that most homes sold well higher than the list or asking price. Average price per foot of the homes that sold was $527.

What’s Happening in the Torrance Real Estate Market?

by Leave a Comment

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 number of active listings (light green) sold homes (dark green) and pending home sales (red line)  The greater the discrepancy between active homes and sold homes indicates a buyers market and when the numbers are closer a sellers market is indicated as inventory is down.

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.

The chart below shows the average days on market per month as well as the % of list price that homes sold at.  A high % indicates a sellers market as home sell at, or above list price.

The chart below shows the average price for listed home sales in relation to the average price for sold homes.

The chart below indicates the months of home inventory based on closed home sales.  Buyer’s market: more than 6 months of inventory  Seller’s market: less than 3 months of inventory  Neutral market: 3 – 6 months of  inventory

Keeping Current With Torrance Real Estate – March Home Sales

by Leave a Comment

While we focus primarily on real estate and homes for sale in Old Torrance, many buyers are also looking in other parts of Torrance and the South Bay.  The entire city of Torrance saw 84 on market homes sell and close escrow during March.  The number of pending sales has jumped considerably each month of 2020 thus far so one would have expected that to continue.

March numbers were not yet impacted by Covid 19 so that will likely change things quite a bit as many “pending” escrows have fallen out and are now back on the market.  The median asking price was $787,000 with the median “sold” price at $815,000 which means that home were selling WAY over the list price indicating a market VERY favorable to sellers.  The average price per foot was $515.80 and median days on the market was only 9 before going into escrow.  4 of the sales were in the 55+ community of New Horizons which was certainly more than any other specific neighborhood.  See also the homes that sold in Old Torrance CA 90501 as well as Plaza Del Amo home sales for March.
