Hermosa Beach - Income Property Snapshot

Hermosa Beach - View from the pier

Hermosa Beach is a fabulous little coastal city sandwiched between trendy Manhattan Beach and the much larger beach city of Redondo Beach.  However, when it comes to living the California beach lifestyle, Hermosa Beach has no trouble rising to the top of the list.

Not only are home prices on the rise in Hermosa Beach income properties are highly prized assets as there is always an ample supply of tenants wishing to live at or near the beach.  When you're the landlord, a waiting list of prospective tenants is a very good thing indeed.

Manhattan Beach Income Property

Norma Toering & Team is seeking income property in the beach cities of Manhattan, Hermosa and Redondo Beach.  Several of our long-term clients are currently enlisting our assistance in helping them build strong real estate investment portfolios.  Consequently, I check daily for additions and changes to the current available inventory.

In addition to our market knowledge, we enlist the help of a Columbia MBA finance consultant to analyze the numbers and future potential of properties of interest.  We wish to give our clients the best service and information available whether they are purchasing a duplex or a large apartment complex.
The Manhattan Beach income property market is very competitive as this coastal city has some of the most expensive real estate in Los Angeles.  The market improvements of 2013 sent prices skyward making it difficult to find properties that make sense on paper and requiring the need to factor in future development value.

Here is what transpired in the income property market in Manhattan Beach YTD 2013:

  • 3 Active Manhattan Beach income properties for sale from 2 to 10 units.
  • 3 Pending sales from 2 to 5 units.
  • 20 Manhattan Beach income properties closed escrow YTD ranging from 2 to 10 units.

Beach Cities and South Bay Income Property


A prospective multifamily income buyer recently asked me, "Has the spring feeding frenzy in the income property market cooled, or will my offer still be one of many?" The truthful answer is it depends on the location and condition of the property. Premium properties in choice locations will still receive multiple offers. On the other hand, fixer properties in less desirable areas will likely present rehab opportunities so they, too, will likely draw multiple offers.

In today's market, it is hard to find a wallflower income property. Last week Norma Toering & Team submitted an offer on Hermosa Beach multifamily units just blocks from the Pacific Ocean. Yes, there were eight offers. Last week another client inquired about fixer units in Wilmington. They opted not to be offer number 11. These number reflect the current activity in the income property market. 

We are not seeing the 20+ offers common during the first half of 2013, but the income market remains strong as the end of the year approaches. Check out the city by city snapshot of sales so far this year.

  •  Palos Verdes: 2
