Hiking trails around Palos Verdes real estate

Hiking Trails in Palos Verdes

We are very fortunate to have surrounding our Palos Verdes homes, some of the most amazing hiking trails in Los Angeles County.  The Palos Verdes Land Conservancy recently republished this handy guide and map to the many hiking trails on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.  Take a minute to study it and feel welcome to view their website at http://www.pvplc.org  Here’s an excerpt and picture of the map.

“Trails in the Portuguese Bend Reserve range from unique canyons and to stunning vistas of the coast and Catalina Island. The trails can be accessed from a few locations, but the most popular is via the Burma Road Trail at the end of Crenshaw Blvd.  Street parking is available on Crenshaw Blvd. or at Del Cerro Park. Head east to the Burma Road trailhead for the overview of the entire reserve.”

Is the Palos Verdes Homes market strong or weak? How to tell

Is your home located in a strong or weak real estate market place?

This is a question that I bet you didn’t realize, could be answered very objectively.  Ask 99.99% of real estate agents out there and I believe you will get a bunch of hemming and hawing with no clear answer.

What are the facts and how do you measure whether your market is in a weak or strong position relative to other areas around the South Bay and Palos Verdes real estate market places?

One way, and I believe the best way, is to measure the “Unsold Inventory Index”.  This is a measure of how well the market is doing at absorbing inventory through sale activity.  It is a number that objectively and factually provides you the information (how many days it will take to sell existing supplies of homes if they sell at the same rate as in the last 12 months) for the Palos Verdes Estates homes market or Manhattan Beach real estate market or whatever market you define. 

I’ve done some “macro” calculations for you below, and I can also hone in to the micro market as well for you.  For example, let’s say you have a home in Palos Verdes Estates, but you want to know what the unsold inventory index is for Lunada Bay homes versus Malaga Cove homes.  I can do that for you, just visit my website at http://www.homeispalosverdes.com and click the the “USI Request” link you will find in the 1st paragraph at the top of the page.  It will look like this:image

So let’s get right to the data …

South Bay Market Strength Indicator
City  Unsold Inventory Index 
Manhattan Beach                                                99
Hollywood Riviera                                              104
Torrance (South & West)                                              121
Redondo Beach (South)                                              126
Redondo Beach (North)                                              127
Rancho Palos Verdes                                              161
Palos Verdes Estates                                              162
Lomita                                              164
Hermosa Beach                                              176
San Pedro                                              201
Rolling Hills                                              280
Rolling Hills Estates                                              296

 

As you can see from the table above, Manhattan Beach appears to be performing best with only 99 days of unsold inventory on the market.
