One of the most talked about sub-markets in the South Bay is Palos Verdes Estates’ Valmonte. It is not only discussed frequently by Palos Verdes real estate agents, but also the neighborhood is a hot topic of conversation among high-end agents in Manhattan Beach as a more affordable alternative to the Tree Section.

This neighborhood not only offers bang for your buck compared to the beach but also value compared to other areas

As mentioned in most of my recent blog posts, I share additional forms of South Bay real estate data through different media channels. There are mailed quarterly newsletters, IGTV quarterly posts, and a podcast…I have dropped the ball on that and recorded just one episode. It is busy as a rookie dad and full-time Realtor. That said, the podcast will happen eventually every month, so thanks for being patient!
