Among the most popular home types in Manhattan Beach are simple, single-family homes in the Tree Section with 4 or more bedrooms and 3000+ sqft.
That's the profile of a home for a family with 2-3 kids that wants to live in the suburbs, wants to be west of Sepulveda, and isn't looking at the Hill Section.
We're going to focus on resales of homes fitting that profile so far this year. (Meaning we will exclude new construction and homes of other sizes, less than 4br or less than 3000 sqft.)
Here's a look at 16 Tree Section resales so far this year by price tiers, $200K at a time:
Under $2.4M
1413 Oak (4br/3ba, 3480 sqft.) sold for $2.385M in August.
It's a late-1980s original with some updates, more still to do.
1 Arbolado Ct. (4br/3ba, 3050 sqft.) sold for $2.350M in February.
It's part of the Arbolado Ct. planned unit development, a community of homes built across the street from Pacific elementary. The home was in largely original condition.
