Sold Homes Hermosa Beach CA 90254 Feb 2014

This may be a very good sign of things to come: 14 homes closed escrow in a short 28 day month. Sales activity was strong in all price ranges from $405K for a 1 bedroom, 1 bath at 1600 Ardmore up to a high of $2.75M for a SFR house at 339 28th St. Nine of the 14 sales took place at or above the list price.

As usual, a lot of the activity was in the Hermosa Beach Sand Section with 5 homes changing hands there. A surprising 5 homes were sold in the Hermosa Valley neighborhood which typically does not have a lot of tunrover. The Hermosa Hills or East Hermosa had 4 sales recorded. That neighborhood was particularly hot last year.


Five townhomes were sold, of which 4 were detached, 1 condo, and 8 SFRs. The median was about $1.344. Nine properties sold between $1m and $2M. No doubt there is a lot more to choose from in that price range in Hermosa than in Manhattan Beach. Now on to my favorite part of all this: my favorites (in no particular order).

1627 Golden, Hermosa Beach: if you've been reading my blogs you know I'm going to like this. It's new and modern and very much reminds me of my sale last year at 123 Bayview. This detached ocean view townhouse is in the East Hermosa Hills north of Aviation Blvd and just east of Prospect. It was completed in 2013. Great kitchen, massive outdoor deck, high end featurs such as sanded and polished concrete floors (downstairs), French Oak in the great room, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 2900 sq ft. Listed for $1.79M. Closed escrow at $1.7M exactly. Listing Broker Shorewood Realtors. Selling Agent Keller Williams Beach Cities. MLS SB13231150.

I think that the buyer got a reasonable deal on 1225 Corona, also north of Aviation in East Hermosa Beach. At $880K, basically that's North Redondo Beach "Tall & Skinny" pricing in Hermosa. Nice. FYI, this property was initially listed at $829K. It sold above list price in 8 days.

1130 9th St, Hermosa Beach CA. "Custom Home designed by Doug Leach and built by John Wisdom. Great Floorplan. Formal Living Room and Family Room and both with Fireplaces.

Listed and sold for $1,950,000. Listing Broker NWRE. Selling agent Shorewood Realtors.

I've skipped some other I like such as the townhouse at the Moorings and the single family home at 1050 1st St because I've written about those previously on www.90254realestate.com.
