Manhattan Beach New Listings (2/17-2/18/24)

As one would hope, we saw 10 new listings come out this week, and there are 20 homes holding open houses. 

This Friday and last, we were out of the area for broker tours, therefore largely not able to offer reviews or pointers on most of these listings. We still try to capture the highlights in photos and the meat of the descriptions to help you evaluate them quickly.

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.

The name of the listing broker and agent for each property, along with any contact information supplied through the MLS, is displayed with each property, next to the price.
