Outlook for May
With 74 recorded sales and a $34.5K increase in the market median sales price, the real estate market
in Redondo Beach held strong in April. Overall, MLS data reveals a healthy supply and demand
relationship exists between sellers and buyers. And, considering the 10.7% surge in new listings we
expect this bond to grow even stronger in weeks to come.

So, what is our forecast for May? you ask? Its simple a lot more of the same but with higher
expectations that stat measurements across the board will improve as summertime inches closer. After
all the cost to borrow money remains historically inexpensive and the local job market and national
economy is showing signs of continued improvement. Do you want to buy or sell property? If yes,
please give us a call today and ask how we can be of service to you.
