The stock market had a few unpredictable mood swings this week and I detected lightly masked nervous tones from clients. Some questioned whether they should move forward with listing their house. Others wondered if they should rush to lock in the new lower interest rate, or cancel their existing offer and wait for prices to plummet.
The volatility prompted me to check the facts provided by the local MLS statistics. After all, news stories hype the hysteria of the moment, but recent sales and pending sales tell the quiet story and lets us peek at the unemotional side of what's happening inside the workings of the local real estate market. So step behind the curtain with me and view of snapshot of Palos Verdes high end home sales for 2011 year -to-date.
Palos Verdes $2,000,000-$3,000,000 High End Home Sales for 2011:
A total of 32 homes in the price closed escrow this year. City breakdown is as follows:
Palos Verdes Estates: 15 Single Family Homes Sold
Rolling Hills: 4 Single Family Homes Sold
Rancho Palos Verdes: 3 Homes Sold
Palos Verdes Peninsula (unincorporated area of PV): 2 Homes Sold
Rolling Hills Estates: 1 Home Sold
During the same time period in 2010 (January 1-August 13) 33 homes in the price range sold. 32 this year--33 last year. How's that for consistency? If you are searching for one of the most stable real estate markets in Southern California, the coastal cities of the Palos Verdes Peninsula remains a highly desirable choice.
