This weeks deal is in North Redondo, it is a detached town home (1 of 2 units) at 1407 harkness Redondo beach, CA 90278
Listed by Tim Kelley, South bay Real Estate Group.

It is price to sell at 599,000!!! 3 bedroom 2.5 baths 1,568 sft. All bedrooms are upstairs and all the living room and kitchen is downstairs which opens up nicely to the back yard.  It also has had its garage converted into another large bedroom and full bath ( I assume its not permitted) but there is still 4 car parking even without the garage.

This will be gone next week with multiple offers.

2401 John st. Manhattan Beach is one of the last of the New construction home to come to market.  This is a brand new listing and a brand new house is a very good location.  After this house and about 3 or 4 others coming out of the ground there will be no more new construction homes in the trees for a couple years, at least as for as spec homes are concerned.

$2,499,000

This is a standard size Tree section house, nicely finished by Ken Johnson Development.
The house is 5 bedrooms 4.5 Baths and about 3,500 sft. it sits on a lot that is 5,080 with the Back yard facing west so you have the sun in the back in the afternoon which is nice.

The price does seem a little high for what it is.  The tree section has been hit the hardest as of this year because of a lot of new construction houses that could not sell and ended up going back to the bank or short selling.  This builder seems to be perfectly stable financially but he may be holding on to the this one for a little while based on comps.

This was a house in North Hermosa that was a really good deal when it first came out, it sold in a couple of days and now is officially closed.  A+ location, great views, really close to the beach.  This makes a great argument that Hermosa is a deal!  To find a house this size and this age, this close to the beach in Manhattan would cost almost twice as much!
