OK, we'll say it. There are not as many new listings coming out now as we had anticipated for this time of year.
Inventory has slipped under 80. There are only 5 truly new options this week.
And 2 of those, at the northernmost edge of the Tree Section, really found a heck of a week to come to market, given what happened Thursday night. Eek.
Open house times for new listings are listed below, but you can also click SEARCHES then "Open Houses" at the top of our site, which displays all the Manhattan Beach open houses. There are also links right at the top to Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach opens.

East Manhattan Beach
1816 9th Street (5br/5ba, 4524 sqft.) is a very straightforward early-2000s Mediterranean, painted beige, with light tile flooring and travertine accents, dark granite counters, and carpeting on the stairs and in upstairs rooms.
Super clean, yes. A little bit dated, yes also. But this is an ample home with a decently sized, turfed backyard, that will work for someone trying to get into the 90266. And if they come in with a little vision, all the better.
From the official description:
"[I]mpressive scale and everyday comfort... [T]he thoughtful layout lives like two primaries while still giving everyone their own corner to retreat to—ideal for multi-generational living or guests. The main level opens with a dramatic two-story entry, leading into a formal dining room and a generous family room seamlessly connected to the large kitchen. The chef’s kitchen is anchored by a substantial island, butler’s pantry, and walk-in pantry, creating a natural hub for gatherings and daily life. A downstairs ensuite bedroom offers privacy and flexibility... Upstairs, four bedrooms include a true primary retreat with fireplace and spa-like bath, a secondary suite with its own ensuite, and two additional bedrooms joined by a Jack-and-Jill."
"Set on a 7,500+ sq. ft. lot, the backyard delivers a rare sense of openness—room for entertaining, play, or even the pool you’ve always envisioned."
1816 9th Street begins at $4.199M and is open Sun. 1-4pm.
1816 9th Street is listed by Christopher Plank, Pacifica Properties Group, Inc.
33 W Malaga Place (3br/3ba, 2045 sqft.) is a Plan 8 townhome in the Village, a model cherished because it features a first-floor primary suite. (Which they did scream in ALL CAPS in the listing, in case you didn't know that already.)
Buying in the Village can mean getting something original – think 1980s – or it can mean buying someone else's remodel from the 90s or early 2000s, which may as well be from the 80s.
Here, you're looking at a new and modern, down-the-middle remodel, with light vinyl flooring, white stone counters, new stainless kitchen appliances and upgraded baths. You don't have to do the work here.
From the official description:
"Beautiful and filled with light, this highly desirable, remodeled PLAN 8 home features 3 bedrooms (including a PRIMARY SUITE ON THE GROUND FLOOR) and 2.5 bathrooms. The main living area (living room, dining room, kitchen, and family room) are all on the main floor."
"The primary bath, completely remodeled, now has an oversized backlit shower with separate showerheads at either end, custom tile, and elegant shower doors. The new dual-sink vanity features a quartz countertop and a large, backlit, antifog mirror.The spacious living room features a fireplace with a new custom quartz surround. Adjacent to the dining room, the walls are lined with windows that offer a picturesque view of the surrounding trees. A doorway from the dining room leads to the brand new kitchen, which features stainless steel Thermador appliances (double oven, refrigerator, cooktop, dishwasher, and a microwave drawer). Adjacent to the kitchen, there's a laundry area for a stackable washer and dryer, and next to it, a pantry with pull out shelves. Down the hall, the powder room has been updated with a new vanity, light fixture, and hardware. The oversized patio flows from both the family room and the primary suite. Upstairs, there are two nicely sized bedrooms. Adjacent, the upstairs bath has been updated with new shower doors, a new vanity, and a backlit antifog mirror. (All three bathrooms have new plumbing fixtures.)The new, light colored luxury vinyl floors installed throughout the home are easy to clean and maintain."
33 W Malaga Place begins at $2,536,800. (That's the actual price, and, no, sorry, we don't know why.)

Tree Section
3616 Laurel (3br/3ba, 2172 sqft.) is the first of two new listings on Rosecrans in the Trees that are debuting this week in the immediate aftermath of... whatever that was on Thursday night at Chevron in El Segundo.
We're gonna grit our teeth a bit to say, if that was nearly the worst-case scenario, and there were no injuries or property damage outside the refinery, maybe, after many decades, coexistence with an industrial neighbor does not have to be a huge concern. (Although notices to the community obviously could be improved. See MB News for more.)
Still, Thursday's event is not the sort of thing you want to see happen as you launch a listing. So you gotta empathize.
This home is actually a wonder. The 1-level floorplan feels uncommonly spacious. The primary suite is at one end of the house, with 2 more beds at the other end. That's nice for privacy.
The modern details of all the remodeling are fresh and inspired, truly quite pleasant. There's even some nice indoor/outdoor space off the living area.
We do imagine that some buyers will object that there's not really much of a yard. (There is a small, enclosed, turfed yard space beyond the garage.)
From the official description:
"Single-level living in Manhattan Beach’s coveted Tree Section shines in this sun-filled home with soaring beamed ceilings and skylights that fill the interior with natural light. The open floor plan feels both welcoming and sophisticated, offering a seamless flow ideal for today’s lifestyle. The sleek, modern kitchen looks brand new and was designed with entertaining in mind. It features a spacious island, breakfast nook, and built-in wine fridge. Double doors open seamlessly to the front deck, where a gorgeous tree creates a serene backdrop for morning coffee or sunset gatherings. This true indoor-outdoor flow makes the home an entertainer’s dream. The expansive family room offers the perfect setting for holidays, movie nights, or hosting friends, while the private bedrooms provide peaceful retreats. An oversized garage delivers ample storage for beach gear, bikes, and more, while new central AC ensures year-round comfort."
3616 Laurel begins at $3.298M and is open Sat. 1-4pm and Sun. 11-3pm.

944 Rosecrans (3br/1ba, 1053 sqft.) offers a dated, small house on an unusually large lot, quite nearly 6000 sqft. The topography of the lot is interesting as well, with a bit of upslope toward the rear.
Yes, it's also on Rosecrans and, like the listing noted above, emerging at an unfortunate time that calls greater attention to the location.
But the price was already ultra low for the Tree Section. Someone who's got some vision is likely to see something here.
From the official description:
"An extraordinary opportunity awaits to own in the highly coveted Tree Section of Manhattan Beach at a price point rarely seen in this market. This charming 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home offers a traditional and highly functional floor plan, filled with natural light and refreshed by daily ocean breezes. Perched high above the street, the home sits on a generous lot that provides both a private front yard and a lush, serene backyard creating the perfect setting for endless outdoor living, entertaining, and relaxation... Inside, the bright living spaces blend comfort and practicality, giving buyers the chance to move in as-is or reimagine the space with their own personal vision. The location is unbeatable just moments to the beach, access to award-winning schools, and close to all the local favorite restaurants, cafes, and boutiques."
944 Rosecrans begins at $1.695M.

Sand Section
460 30th Street (5br/3ba, 2208 sqft.) is quite original and occupied – not too clean or staged for sale. So it demands some vision – not unlike the 900-block of Rosecrans property mentioned immediately above.
Indeed, the location is so good – midblock on the plateau, just a few blocks to Grand View – that it's conceivable that someone's vision will be to buy the land and start over.
Is a full lot on this block a $2.8M proposition? Higher? Lower? One to watch.
From the official description:
"Nestled in the heart of Manhattan Beach’s coveted Sand Section, 460 30th Street presents a rare full-lot opportunity on a highly desirable cul-de-sac with Sand Dune Park as your backyard and the best of Manhattan Beach just a stroll away. This property offers a blank canvas for your vision, whether you’re seeking a remodel to reflect your personal taste, a fixer with strong upside potential, or a smart investment project. The location is second to none. Enjoy the coastal lifestyle with North MB’s vibrant shops and restaurants, the best local beachfront, and access to award-winning Grandview Elementary School."
460 30th Street begins at $2.825M.
