13. Outlook for May
By most accounts, real estate activity for Hermosa Beach improved considerably during the month of April. For
example, data measures trending positive include total sales, which bummed up by more than 181%, the
market median sales price, which climbed an additional $394K, and the sales/listing ratio, which almost tripled.
Year-over-year comparison statistics reveal similar results, with the most critical information supporting rumors
the market is definitely improving.
So, what should you expect for May? Well, since the last three months have proven rather reassuring it is
rational to assume this trending behavior will continue. With that in mind, home owners wishing to sell their
properties should get their affairs in order and soon because summer is almost here and, historically speaking,
real estate activity during this season almost always picks up. Buyers, on the other hand, you should give me a
call today so we can get you approved to start making purchase offers. Seriously, inventory is moving fast so
don’t make the mistake of waiting too long and losing out on securing the home of your dreams.
Your recap…
