We did it, we made it to Labor Day!
We gotta say, it was fun to see a lot of MBC readers at our open houses last weekend at 3208 Agnes. If you didn't make it, sorry to say, that one sold quickly, even with a start price of $5.895M. We'll try to find another!
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.

676 18th Street (6br/8ba, 5843 sqft.) is a 2017 build on a quiet Martyrs block. We'd say it's luxurious "to the nines," but the price is actually a bit higher...

Hill Section
1043 9th Street (5br/5ba, 3629 sqft.) is a 2003 Mediterranean with a nicely modernized yard. Interestingly, there's no neighbor behind, as the home is elevated above a parking lot that seems rarely used, or at least rarely busy. To the east is a commercial building.
The home is bright, with fresh paint and new lighting, but still mostly original to 2003 design elements.
From the official description:
"Mediterranean villa vibes, Manhattan Beach address, west of Sepulveda... [F]resh, polished, and move-in ready. The entire home just got a glow-up. New interior and exterior painting, sleek new light fixtures, refinished downstairs wood floors, freshly painted cabinets in every kitchen and bath, and brand-new luxury manufactured wood flooring on the second level and stairs. The downstairs was designed with entertaining in mind: a formal living room, a separate dining room perfect for hosting family gatherings, and a generous family room that flows right into the eat-in kitchen. And what a kitchen it is smart Sub-Zero fridge, smart double ovens, a second sink in the oversized island, plus a breakfast bar for casual mornings. From here, French doors open seamlessly to private, spacious backyard, keeping your indoor-outdoor lifestyle effortless. Fireplaces add cozy charm to the formal living room, dining room, family room, and even the primary suite upstairs. You will find luxury in little details. The upstairs also hosts four spacious bedrooms, while downstairs offers a private guest suite with its own full bath, and two spacious closets ideal for visitors or work-from-home flexibility. But let’s be real, the backyard is the true showstopper: checkerboard grass for a stylish design statement, multiple seating areas for sunset gatherings, a basketball hoop for your inner Steph Curry, and fruit trees (apple, loquat, peach) for your very own backyard harvest. It’s a private oasis in the heart of Manhattan Beach."

214 El Porto Street (4br/5ba, 2235 sqft.) is a very ambitious half lot modern tower with significant ocean views.
They're aiming for an El Porto price record here. The record for an SFR on a standard half lot (~1350 sqft.) is this year's sale of 124 38th Place at $3.340M.
The start price for this new listing is $5.650M.
But the lot is a tad bigger, at 1480 sqft.
That's how they got over 2200 sqft. into the build.
El Porto's all-time record for an SFR was at 200 40th (4br/5ba, 2468 sqft.) in 2022, among the biggest "half-lot" homes ever built in Porto. They got $5.300M there. (See "Porto's Biggest Sale Ever - By a Mile.")
40th St. is a different bird, though, wider and affording somewhat bigger views.
This new home has eclectic neighbors that underscore how El Porto is evolving. Directly to the west, a newer modern with big views. To the east, some kind of 1950s duplex with rough edges. Behind the home to the south, more rougher, older surf shacks.
One to watch for sure.
