Every six to 12 months I will check-in on marketplaces that have easily comparable home types. The apples-to-apples comparison helps to showcase growth or deceleration in certain areas and is helpful to study on occasion. One of my favorite markets to stop-by is the North Redondo submarket of Golden Hills. More specifically, “tall & skinny” homes within the Golden Hills area. Thanks to the pandemic driving all sorts of different blogs and data in 2020, I have failed to cover the “tall & skinny” market of late. The last time I wrote about the submarket was in June of 2019 and you can see a link to that post below. I will be taking some of

The South Bay real estate market keeps on humming in 2021… With most beach city and Palos Verdes hill pockets seeing prices up 10% or more, as referenced in my past blog here, as well as historically low inventory, which I covered in another blog post here, there seems to be nothing stopping the strength in our local markets.

Over the past five years, I have been committed to writing a South Bay real estate blog post each and every week. I have made the blog a top priority, posting during the holiday season and even during the busiest times here at Manhattan Pacific Realty. My wife even had to deal with me posting a blog the week of our wedding and during our honeymoon (for the most part, the blogs were written beforehand, thankfully). The one time the blog was thrown out the window was with the birth of our first son, March. Well, this week, my wife Nicole and I welcomed our second baby boy, Reece Haynes, into the world. Our hearts are
