November 2023 Newsletter

In my last letter I briefly discussed the market statistics.  I’m not a big fan of statistics as they can be misleading, but in this case they illustrate a current trend – the market is slowly slowing, which any experienced agent will tell you just by the “feel” of it.  When I wrote my last newsletter 60 days ago there were 112 houses for sale on the Palos Verdes Peninsula with an average time on the market at about 30...Continue Reading!

September 2023 Newsletter

Dear Neighbor: We are definitely seeing signs of the market slowing – “average days on market” is creeping up as is the number of houses for sale in PV:  from a ridiculously low 40 during the peak of the recent frenzy, to 73 as of last March, and 112 houses for sale as of this writing.  While this is still low by historic standards, the trend is hard to miss, with the average days on the market now standing at just...Continue Reading!

July Newsletter

And on it goes.  Demand for homes continues to outstrip supply.  Reasonably-priced houses in Palos Verdes are selling within a week, often with multiple offers.  You pretty much can’t buy a house on the Hill for less than $1.3 million, which generally gets you a 3 bedroom, 2 bath 1400 square foot original 1956-1963 house in RPV without any kind of a view and probably needing work.  I remember when the original Grandview houses were built by Zuckerman in 1956...Continue Reading!

The History of Palos Verdes

I recently gave a lecture ambitiously titled "The History of Palos Verdes" at Hesse Park.  There have been many requests for recordings/videos of it.  Until I can edit it, etc, here is the raw footage, compliments of videographer Jeff Koven who, if you need professional video services, is the guy to call: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jIFwDAIBdJMiJZhNSjIwXd2esyN6RV97/viewContinue Reading!
