13. Outlook for August
Overall, real estate activity in Hermosa Beach during July proved less exciting when compared to June.
Most of the major performance indicators trended downward, such as total sales, median sales price,
median days to sell, and listings. However, the sales/listings ratio did improve 10.86% leading some to
conclude the drop in the median sales price helped to stimulate buyer interest, which in turn resulted in
more offers to purchase.
What should you expect in August? Considering the cost to borrow money remains historically
inexpensive it seems reasonable to assume the real market will continue to show signs of improvement,
despite the occasional setback. For buyers, in particular, one advantage is the time of year – once
summer ends I suspect home owners will be more accommodating with respect to price negotiations.
Sellers, on the other hand, still benefit from lower inventories and lending institutions that make money
available to qualified buyers.
For buying or listing questions, please do not hesitate to call me. I would be happy to discuss your
situation in detail and provide my professional services in a capacity that is most helpful to your specific
needs. Your recap…
