It is fun for just about anyone to look at beautiful Strand home listings for sale. Most onlookers drool over the homes while walking by with their coffee, glancing over the multi-million dollar asking prices without giving much thought and think to themselves…“maybe someday.” But, if you are actually in the market for a home on The Strand, then I am sure you are watching prices a lot more closely than others. And, if your focus is on Hermosa Beach Strand homes, then you would know that today property values are getting hammered.

If you have been following my blog for over a year, then you probably have come to learn that I tend to write about the market slowing down during the holidays and the Summer months. When the Fourth of July hits, you get a double whammy. A lot of people skip town this weekend and take real estate a lot less seriously until the Fall. The absolutely best time to score an awesome real estate deal, in my opinion, is between mid-November and mid-January during the holiday season. But what is the second best time? No question, for me, it is between July and August. And, with a long Fourth of July weekend this year, it
