Manhattan Beach New Listings (8/19-8/20/23)

Strange days have found us.

It was just going to be a typical weekend of volleyball and open houses... till along came a hurricane.

Sunday won't be the fun day it was set out to be. Take the chance while you can to get your home and outdoor areas ready.

If you're in the market, Saturday's going to be your best day to get out to open houses.

There are 5 new listings this week, and a couple dozen listings were planning to open up to the public throughout the weekend.

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.
