February 2016 Median Home Prices in El Segundo and the South Bay

By Keith Kyle116-Pine-El-Segundo

El Segundo, CA and the South Bay saw another strong month for home prices although a few cities saw big percentage drops in average home prices.  Those numbers, especially in smaller cities, or in a month with fewer home sales, don’t really mean much, but taken over times gives a good indication as to what is happening in the local El Segundo real estate market.

El Segundo had a fairly typical month with 11 home sales, but prices topped $1.1M which is pretty rare in this coastal community.

Median Home Price in El Segundo Tops $1,000,000

By Keith Kyle840_Center_Street

The January home sales numbers are in and the median home prices for El Segundo in January was a whopping $1,074,000.  Although the market is certainly continuing to rise the jump of almost 35% was due mainly to the types of homes that closed in January.  Unlike previous months the bulk of the homes that sold were larger single family homes on large lots, and multi unit properties. The highest sales price was for 802 Center Street which closed at $2,150, 000 which is a very large number for this coastal community.  It wasn’t long ago that home sales in El Segundo approaching $2.0M was fairly unheard of.  Click here to view the home sales in El Segundo and South Bay for January 2016.
