2008 Summary YTD for Manhattan Beach (May 1, 2008)

The number of home sales in Manhattan Beach have been on a consistent increase since the beginning of the year. This is expected to continue into the summer.

The Average Days on Market have been jumping all over the place, with no obvious trend visible. With this inconsistency, sellers in Manhattan Beach should err on the side of caution and list their homes 4-5 months before they need to sell them.

The list price vs. sold price remains pretty consistent, showing that listing prices are being chosen very consistently, and close to what the market is dictating.

With the increase in home sales, inventory is on the decrease.
