Well it's no flood, but there is a diverse mix of 7 brand new listings this week. We do expect new inventory throughout September and October, often our second-busiest time of year.
An old south-of-the-pier duplex that cries out for a modern build? Yes.
A couple new Tree Section entries? Yes, also.
How about an oversized East MB newer home? There's one of those, plus a single-level SFR in Manhattan Village.
Oh, yeah – we've had a couple questions about our late-August listing at 3208 Agnes (asking $5.895M). (Link to website with all photos.) That was only open one weekend, as it sold immediately with multiple offers. It will close soon – be ready to be amazed.
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.

Tree Section
3517 Walnut Avenue (5br/6ba, 3240 sqft.) is modern new construction up in the northeasternmost part of the Tree Section.
The look is crowd-pleasing enough, but they canceled the brokers' open so we have not yet visited in person.
From the official description:
"The main level features an open kitchen with a large quartz countertop, premium Thermador appliances, custom cabinetry, and seamless flow into the dining and family areas. A sliding door in the family room opens to the patio for easy indoor-outdoor living. The living area is centered by a modern fireplace, creating a comfortable gathering space. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a private balcony, generous closet space, and a bathroom with dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. Each additional bedroom features its own en-suite bathroom, providing privacy and convenience for family and guests. The home is pre-wired for a complete entertainment system and security.

3200 Elm Avenue (5br/5ba, 3109 sqft.) is a vintage Mediterranean from the early aughts.
A nice upgrade is the all-brick backyard/patio with built ins, including a kegerator at the BBQ.
Much of the rest of the home is looking for a refresh or reboot, but it's pleasant enough.
Worth noting: The listing describes the home's proximity to the "Armory Greenbelt." We'd never heard that phrase. Google said it is a reference to Veterans Parkway and linked to this MB Confidential page as the #1 source for info. Bravo. Also, the A.I. summary observed:
"The specific reference to an 'armory' in connection with the Manhattan Beach greenbelt is likely a misnomer, potentially related to real estate listings." Right again, robot.
From the official description:
"Discover Mediterranean elegance nestled right on the Armory Greenbelt in Manhattan Beach's serene Tree Section... A warm smooth finish stucco facade, red-tile roof, and lush front yard set the tone before you even step inside. Vaulted ceilings and sunlit interiors create a spacious and inviting atmosphere.

1504 N Ardmore (3br/2ba, 1272 sqft.) is an interesting proposition on a 3800 sqft. lot near downtown.
It's a smallish, traditional little cottage with some upgrades, although older/original baths.
The decent-sized yard and second garage on a private alley in back got us thinking about potential...
From the official description:
"Best possible Location. Move into this lovely one level 3 bedroom home with wonderful views of the Greenbelt. Enjoy walking your dog, just steps from your house or taking the Bike path to walk or jog. One block away is the Live Oak Park, a short hike to the Ocean and Downtown Manhattan Beach.

Sand Section
213 Seaview Street (4br/4ba, 1748 sqft.) is a 3-story '01-built SFR on an El Porto alley street.
It benefits from a very fortunate neighbor situation: The lot directly to the west was purchased to be a yard by the homeowners one more lot to the west. This opens up a (currently) unblocked view corridor that delivers big views from the top level.
The alley streets in El Porto tend to be tighter and have more wires, but they're working on completing removal of all the poles now thanks to the (delayed) undergrounding in the area. Several photos in this listing are treated to remove poles that are there but going.
From the official description:
"Welcome to 213 Seaview Street, your own slice of paradise! This stunning 1,748 sqft (btv) 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom single family home, located in one of the most sought-after areas of Southern California, is the epitome of feeling like you're on vacation every single day. On the first floor you will find a bedroom with an en suite bathroom and a sliding glass door that opens to a walkway wrapping around the entire backside of the home; perfect for letting your pets out, storing your bikes/surfboards or simply letting the ocean breeze roll in. Upstairs, two generously-sized bedrooms are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, with one enjoying its own ocean-view balcony. The top level is where this home truly shines.

Step out on your spacious balcony to enjoy the sunshine during the day or delight in the magic of the South Bay sunsets at night.

216 6th Street (4br/4ba, 2458 sqft.) offers an extremely intriguing opportunity for a new build near downtown, south of the pier.
It doesn't get much better than a walkstreet on a corner with Bayview, with slope to the west that should keep view-blocking properties low. (There is, sadly, a power pole on the front corner.)
Yes, it's a duplex, which means any new build must follow the "no net loss" rule and include some kind of second unit. But that can be done in ways that are even favorable for the new owner. (It's nothing like needing to build 3 units, like we saw on a recent listing at 9th/Ocean.)
From the official description:
"A rare opportunity on one of South Manhattan Beach’s most coveted walkstreet corners. This full 30' x 90' (approx.) lot currently holds two 2-bedroom 2-bath units, making it ideal for either immediate redevelopment or a “buy now, build later” strategy. The corner orientation gives future builders a distinct advantage: an additional 2 feet of width due to reduced side setbacks, plus the ability to bring garages off Bayview—avoiding tandem parking for a third spot. From its southeast Bayview vantage point, the property captures sweeping ocean views to the northwest and west that are elite and unique to 216 and 217 addresses. Each unit has it’s own address. 216 6th Street is 1500 sq ft (BTV) with 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms. The kitchen and baths have been renovated and air conditioning has been added. There are two fireplaces, a two car garage, laundry room and private patio. 217 5th Place is 1100 sq ft (BTV) with 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms, laundry room, a one car garage with an additional designated parking spot, and private patio."
216 6th Street begins at $6.550M.
216 6th Street is listed by Bryn Stroyke, Bayside.
459 35th Street (5br/4ba, 3700 sqft.) now begins its 8th listing since April 2022, albeit that effort has been split among just two agents, each of whom appears to follow seller instructions to cancel the listing and reboot it once it starts to look a bit stale. The price is now the lowest ever.
From the official description:
"Enjoy spectacular ocean, mountain, and treetop views from this New England Coastal-style home with a 360-degree rooftop deck, extremely rare for the neighborhood, and a seemingly endless floor plan with a variety of living spaces and terraces. Calming aromas of the Pacific waft through the air, setting the scene for the quintessential seaside lifestyle that awaits. Inside, a formal living room has a bay window, fireplace, and French doors to the front brick-lined courtyard. The family/media room has open shelving and an adjacent balcony overlooking the grounds below. Nearby, the updated kitchen features warm woods, stainless-steel appliances including a Viking cooktop, an abundance of cabinetry, breakfast bar, hot spot, and dining areas aside an additional patio with gas barbecue, perfect for entertaining and dining al-fresco. There is also a clever temperature-controlled wine closet, positioned to maximize use of space. The primary bedroom is spacious, and its en-suite bathroom includes a dual-sink vanity, jetted tub, separate steam shower, and door to a private viewing terrace."
459 35th Street begins at $3.695M.

East Manhattan Beach
1757 8th Street (6br/7ba, 5738 sqft.) is a newer ('21) and ginormous build on a corner at Herrin. Presold back in '21 for $5.600M, it's now aiming to beat the feat achieved by nearby neighbor 1751 8th, comparably sized, which got $6.200M in February this year.
From the official description:
"Rare East Manhattan Beach masterpiece where timeless elegance meets modern luxury... on a coveted corner lot with a landscaped yard and white picket fence set the stage for timeless curb appeal... [T]his home offers scale without sacrificing warmth. Soaring ceilings and an open-concept floor plan flood the home with natural light and are enhanced by dramatic bi-folding doors that open seamlessly to a private backyard oasis—featuring a pool, spa, built-in Wolf BBQ and a custom Korean BBQ—creating the ultimate indoor-outdoor California lifestyle.
