Beach Real Estate reports on the key market data indicators for Manhattan Beach homes for sale closed in the first half of 2011 versus Manhattan Beach homes sold in the first half of 2012 Manhattan Beach Real Estate pulled all data regarding the number of closed Manhattan Beach houses for sale average days on the market DOM and the median price achieved for the Manhattan Beach homes for sale in the two different time periods with data pulled from the Multiple Listing Service The number of Manhattan Beach houses for sale that closed escrow in the first half of 2012 versus the number of Manhattan Beach houses for sale that have closed escrow in the first half of 2012 is a reasonably positive difference It says a lot for the continuing recovery and continued strengthening of the Manhattan Beach real estate market Here are the relevant statistics Number of Manhattan Beach homes for sale closed in the first half of 2011 169 Manhattan Beach homes sold Number of Manhattan Beach homes for sale closed in the first half of 2012 177 Manhattan Beach houses sold These statistics demonstrate a modest increase of 4 7 in the total number of Manhattan Beach homes for sale that closed escrow in the first half of 2012 over the first half of 2011 which is a modest increase in the number of Manhattan Beach real estate transactions closed Average Days on the Market DOM for a Manhattan Beach house for sale to close in the first half of 2011 89 Days on the Market Average Days on the Market DOM for a Manhattan Beach house for sale to close in the first half of 2012 75 Days on the market This represents a statistically significant 15 7 decrease in the number of days it took for Manhattan Beach homes for sale to close in the first half of 2012 than it took for Manhattan Beach homes for sale to close in the first half of 2011 This is a clear sign to the demand for Manhattan Beach real estate being on the rise in combination with a low inventory of Manhattan Beach homes for sale in the Manhattan Beach real estate market The median price point achieved for Manhattan Beach homes closed in the first half of 2011 1 550 million dollars The median price point achieved for Manhattan Beach homes closed in first half of 2012 1 512 million dollars These statistics represent a moderate decrease of 2 45 in the average price point achieved from all Manhattan Beach houses for sale from the first half of 2011 versus the first half of 2012 for Manhattan Beach houses closed Since the lower interest rates prevalent today are fueling demand mostly in the lower end it is not surprising that the median home prices fell somewhat All the market data pulled from the MLS researched by Manhattan Beach Real Estate shows a reasonable increase in the demand in the Manhattan Beach real estate market in combination with a limited supply and are good indicators of a stronger market for Manhattan Beach homes for sale The Manhattan Beach real estate market generally achieved more closed Manhattan Beach homes for sale with significantly less time required to sell down the already limited Manhattan Beach house inventory The current Manhattan Beach real estate market is starved for inventory of homes with only 67 total single family Manhattan Beach houses for sale at present listed in the MLS For questions about buying or selling a Manhattan Beach home please contact the

Beach Real Estate Reports 2nd Quarter 2012 Manhattan Beach home sales vs 2nd Quarter 2011 Manhattan Beach Real Estate conducted research on the Manhattan Beach real estate market from data on the MLS to compare the performance of Manhattan Beach homes for sale closed in Q2 2011 vs Q2 2012 Manhattan Beach Real Estate looked at 3 key factors of Manhattan Beach Real Estate as Manhattan Beach real estate market indicators 1 Number of Manhattan Beach Houses for Sale that Closed in each time period Q1 2011 Of all the Manhattan Beach homes for sale 104 Manhattan Beach homes for sale closed Q2 2012 Of all the Manhattan Beach homes for sale 118 Manhattan Beach homes for sale closed This represents an increase of 13 4 of Manhattan Beach homes for sale closed 2 Average Days on the Market DOM it took for each Manhattan Beach house for sale to close Q1 2011 Of all the Manhattan Beach houses for sale the Manhattan Beach houses for sale that closed did so in an average of 82 DOM Q2 2012 Of all the Manhattan Beach houses for sale the Manhattan Beach houses for sale that closed did so in an average of 68 DOM This represents a 20 5 quicker sales cycle for Manhattan Beach houses for sale to close in Q2 2012 over Q2 2011 3 Median Price point achieved for the Manhattan Beach houses for sale Q1 2011 The median price that a Manhattan Beach house for sale sold for was 1 550M Q2 2012 The median price that a Manhattan Beach house for sale sold for was 1 512M representing a 2 4 decrease in the median price point achieved amongst all the Manhattan Beach homes for sale In summary Manhattan Beach Real Estate believes this is positive news for the continued recovery of the Manhattan Beach real estate market The Manhattan Beach real estate market is currently starved for inventory At the date of this blog post there were only 72 Manhattan Beach houses for sale available on the MLS The median home price achieved for a home was statistically not significant at a slight decrease of 2 4 probably due to the lower priced homes being in higher demand as more buyers of lower priced Manhattan Beach homes for sale need financing versus being cashed buyers The increase of Manhattan Beach houses for sale closing increasing by 13 4 is statistically significant and the lower number of DOM by over 20 are both very strong compelling statistics that Manhattan Beach home buyers are back in the market in force The perception of bottom in the Manhattan Beach real estate market has been out there for some time now and buyers are now competing for limited Manhattan Beach homes for sale inventory leading to multiple offers and quick offers Manhattan Beach schools and the unparalleled lifestyle and sense of community prevalent in Manhattan Beach continues to drive demand for Manhattan Beach real estate Interest rates being at historically all time lows adds fuel to the fire If you are interested in a free valuation of your Manhattan Beach home in today s hot

http://www.manhattanbeachrealestate.com/blog/Manhattan-Beach-Real-Estate.htm?promotion=6714 blog Manhattan Beach Real Estate conducted market research on how many Manhattan Beach homes for sale closed in the first quarter of 2011 versus how many Manhattan Beach homes for sale closed in the first quarter of 2012 Here are the results of the Manhattan Beach real estate research 2011 Out of all of the Manhattan Beach Homes for sale in the Manhattan Beach real estate market 60 Manhattan Beach homes closed escrow in the first quarter of 2011 Of these sold Manhattan Beach homes the average Manhattan Beach home was on the market for 103 days The average Manhattan Beach house sold for 1 576 million How did the Manhattan Beach real estate market comparing in the Q1 of 2012 Of all the single family Manhattan Beach houses for sale in the Manhattan Beach real estate market in the first quarter of 2012 59 Manhattan Beach houses for sale sold in Q1 2012 Of all the sold Manhattan Beach houses for sale in the Manhattan Beach real estate market the average Manhattan Beach house took 88 days to sell The average price of the Manhattan Beach houses for sale that actually closed in Q1 of 2012 was 1 898 million So what does this tell us about the state of the Manhattan Beach real estate market of Q1 2011 versus the Manhattan Beach real estate market in Q1 of 2012 The number of Manhattan Beach homes that sold were almost identical dropping from 60 Manhattan Beach homes sold in Q1 2011 to 59 Manhattan Beach homes sold in Q1 2012 This represents a drop in closed sales of Manhattan Beach homes for sale of only 1 6 The average days on the market of the closed Manhattan Beach house sales out of all Manhattan Beach homes for sale dropped significantly from 103 days on the market to 88 days on the market on average This is a 14 5 reduction on the days it took for these Manhattan Beach homes for sale being listed to these Manhattan Beach homes for sale closing The average price achieved in Q1 2011 Manhattan Beach homes sold versus Q1 2012 Manhattan Beach homes sold rose significantly from 1 576 million to 1 898 million This represents an approximate 20 increase in the price paid for Manhattan Beach houses in Q1 2011 versus Manhattan Beach houses purchased in Q1 2012 So what does this say about the Manhattan Beach real estate market in 2012 versus 2011 Mitch Hagerman of Manhtattan Beach Real Estate belives that most buyers perceive the Manhattan Beach real estate market has bottomed and perceive that prime communities such as Manhattan Beach are now on the rise Perception becomes reality The Manhattan Beach real estate market has always shown reslience in down turns in the economy as it is in a desirable beachfront location it is close to LAX and it has some of the highest ranked schools in the country which all lead to a strong sense of community amongst owners of Manhattan Beach homes On top of this interest rates are at historical lows making the monthly payments associated with owning Mahattan Beach real estate at an all time low Further the Manhattan Beach real estate market is starved for inventory of good homes It is these omcbination of factors that we believe contributed to a similar number of homes sold If there were more good Manhattan Beach homes for sale in the Manhattan Beach real estate inventory in 2012 Manhattan Beach Real Esate believes there would have been additional transactions The fact that the current Manhattan Beach real estate market is starved for inventory did lead to significant reduction in the average days on the market it took for a Manhattan Beach home for sale to actually close and it has likely led to a significant increase in the average price of a Manhattan Beach house is selling for in 2012 versus 2011 If you would like to receive Manhattan Beach Real Estate market updates please sign up on www ManhattanBeachRealEstate com to be included in our newsletter updates For current information on the
