Manhattan Beach New Listings (9/28-9/29/24)

What happened, then? You're saying October is just around the corner?

Maybe that's why, in the past week, 11 listings have adjusted their prices, while only 5 new listings debuted. It is time to sell if you mean to, with 4-6 weeks left before the holidays slow the market.

Looking in the Hill Section? Come by Edge's listing at 819 11th on Saturday or Sunday, 2-4pm! We've got a new price, $6.399M. We'd love to say "hi!"

We'll also be manning our new Hermosa Beach listing at 340 26th, also open Sat. & Sun. 2-4pm.

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.
