El Camino Village – One of the Hottest Real Estate Markets in the South Bay

by Leave a Comment

Without question, the neighborhood of El Camino Village is one of the hottest real estate markets in the South Bay.  Not only are prices on the rise but demand never seems to ease up.  We have represented buyers on 4 recent offers and in all 4 situations there were multiple offers and each home sold well over the original list price.   See the current homes for sale in El Camino Village/Bodger Park.

The chart below is a great representation of current conditions (included Bodger Park in Hawthorne so slightly skewed numbers).  Other than December which is almost always the slowest month of the year, days on market has been less than 2 weeks for the past few months.  Those numbers are even lower when you consider that with mulitple offers it can sometimes take 4 or 5 days to negotiate and open escrow.  The green line shows that for the past 12 months homes have sold OVER list prices.  Given that many sellers have listed their homes for record numbers, that’s simply incredible.

The Smaller Costs of The Home Buying Process

by Leave a Comment

There are costs of buying a home that go above and beyond the actual sales price.  In the South Bay and El Camino Village, these are negotiated in the offer and most of the time the seller pays most of them.  There are a few exceptions to this and as mentioned…it’s negotiated.  The bulk of the buyer paid costs are loan related and usually include prepaid items and origination costs. See the current homes for sale in El Camino Village and Bodger Park

What costs are there?

Although most home buyers know they’ll be paying lender related costs, it’s good to have an understanding of some of the smaller fees and costs.  Here is a look at some of the lesser known fees in buying a house that buyers should know about and budget for.  One additional cost that both buyers and sellers generally pay for themselves is the escrow company fee.  These costs are determined by purchase price so contact us for more information on what those costs will be.

El Camino Bodger Park Housing Trends for 2016

by Leave a Comment

By Keith Kyle

Just when it started to appear that inventory was finally on the rise, it quickly peaked and dropped down to very low levels once again. The chart below shows all the South Bay and Palos Verdes areas for the past year.  We saw a peak in July wth 1,726 active homes for sale, but have steadily declined since and are not nearing the low point of last December.  Inventory generally picks up after December and hopefully the general trend of inventory steadily rising until mid summer continues.  The housing market chart for just El Camino Village and Bodger Park is at the bottom of the page.


Housing market trends for El Camino Village and Bodger Park were slightly more balanced.  That was due more to the limited number of homes in the area which makes for a much smaller sample size.
