Is El Segundo Ready for $2.0M+ homes?

By Keith Kyle840_Center_Street

El Segundo is a fantastic little town that has a small town feel that most areas can’t duplicate.  While there are an abundance of townhomes and condos, the bulk of the homes are some version of the original beach bungalow.  Many have been nicely updated and expanded while some are in fairly original condition.

Unlike neighboring Manhattan Beach, El Segundo hasn’t seen quite the same building boom creating oversized luxury homes and there are several reasons.  The primary reason is that values, while having gone up considerably in the past 2 years, haven’t rocketed upwards to the same extent and builders eager to build high end luxury properties may not see the margins and are searching elsewhere.

So will El Segundo see an increase in luxury $2,000,000 homes?  It still appears unlikely other than the rare case of a truly special home on an oversized lot in an A+ location.  There will be a limited amount of homeowners that simply love El Segundo that build their dream house and at some point those homes will be sold, but it’s very unlikely we’ll see too many luxury spec homes built as the cost of lots/tear down homes, plus the cost of building makes for a challenging investment.

Lyon Homes Beginning to List 360 South Bay Homes on the MLS

By Keith Kyle360 South Bay

**Update**All new construction homes have been sold and Lyon Homes in no longer involved.  There are homes for sale as resale units but there are no longer new construction units.  Please contact us for information on the homes for sale.

In a shift from their previous sales strategies, William Lyon Homes are now starting to list many of their new construction properties on the local MLS making it easier to see and purchase with the use of a realtor.  Until now all new home sales were done through the Lyon Homes sales office as “buyers agents” were not involved and a realtors involvement often ended at bringing the prospective buyer through the community for an initial visit.  While they are still keeping the role of the buyers agent to a minimum, listing the homes on the MLS has been a definite shift in policy.

360 South Bay is a newly constructed gated community in the Hollyglen neighborhood of Hawthorne CA and offers new and newer homes with a great community feel, fantastic ammenities and is located in the award winning Wiseburn School District.

View information on 360 South Bay including models, floorplans and more.

In addition to the new construction and upcoming construction, there are a number of resale units that have always been handled like normal real estate transactions with a buyers and sellers realtor involved.

At Long Last….A New Listing in Fusion at 5406 149th

It’s been a while since there was a home for sale in Fusion in the South Bay, the gated townhome community in the Hollyglen area of Hawthorne. Fusion-South-Bay Ideally located just east of Manhattan Beach, it’s is a fantastic alternative to Redondo, Manhattan and El Segundo.  Prices would be exponentially higher if it were located just across the street, but the location still offers residents easy access to the active South Bay lifestyle with the beach, dining, shopping and more close by.

The current unit for sale is a “C” floorplan (see our video walkthrough of a different Fusion C townhome for a sense of the layout) which offers a very open kitchen/dining/living room areas with 2 bedrooms and laundry upstairs. The C floorplan also offers a 2 car attached garage.  The ammenities of the complex include pool and spa, small playground, half basketball court and various exercise stations.

Located at 5406 W 149th Place unit #18, (see Fusion South Bay map) it is priced at $499,000 which, in our opinion, is low and would be a good deal for the buyer that purchases the home.  Square footage is listed as 1,110 by listing agent Young Kim of Landmark, but in our experience the square footage is actually larger when measured.

Where did all the homes in Fusion go?

By Keith KyleFusion South Bay

It seems that nobody is selling in Fusion these days which is a bit unusual as so many owners in the complex weathered some tough years and homes are once again nearing the peak.  As a realtor who frequently sells homes in this great community, it’s always a challenge when the inventory is this low as there’s simply nothing to sell.  Fusion has always been a very unique market as there are often either too many homes on the market, and they all sit until the first one sells (and then they seem to go like dominoes) or there’s no homes on the market.  The appeal of Fusion is the combination of price, location, and age which makes them a great value.  Built in 2006 and 2007, they sit just east of Manhattan Beach but at dramatically lower prices.  Most buyers often start their searches in Redondo Beach or El Segundo, but after looking at what $550,000 or so gets them in those towns, they opt for the very new, very well located Fusion townhomes.

So what’s an interested buyer to do?

  • The first aspect is to find an agent that frequently sells in Fusion as they may have the inside track into upcoming and off market possibilities.  There are 4 or 5 realtors that work fairly extensively in this gated community.
  • Be patient.  As I mentioned above Fusion is a unique market that seems to go in waves.  It won’t be too long before there are several listings
  • Consider the condos, townhomes, and single family homes at 360.  Another alternative is the community known as 360 which is just a bit north.  Contact us for more information as there are new homes as well as resale listings.

September Home Sales in El Segundo Dominated by Condos

El Segundo CA once again saw a fairly low number of home sales for September 2014.  The real estate market continued to be a sellers market with very lowPlan A townhome in Fusion inventory and very high demand in this coastal community of the South Bay outside of Los Angeles.  The bulk of the home sales in September were dominated by condos, which is a bit unusual.  Of the 8 homes sold on the MLS, 5 were condos, one was a townhome and only 2 single family homes.  Visit our El Segundo CA homes for sale page to see the current active MLS listings or visit our recent home sale page for the South Bay to see other months and other South Bay Cities.
