Things were shaping up for the 2019 Manhattan Beach real estate market to nearly match pace with the boom-boom year of 2017.
At the end of May, we wrote in our regular market update: "Surprise! This year is off to a superb start." And we pointed out that 2017 and 2019 stood tall above other recent years, more than 20 sales higher for January-May.
Then June happened.
June 2019 was not a go-go month, for whatever reason.
The 29 closings in June 2019 provided the lowest total of the past 7 years.
Remember that whole idea that we were tracking 2017's blistering pace?
June 2019 saw just half the sales of June 2017.
It was a 45% drop in closings year-over-year, comparing just with 2018.
And with that sluggish June, now 2019 is starting to look pretty normal.
Here are the sales totals for Manhattan Beach homes in the first half of the past 7 years.
Now, with 195 first-half sales, 2019 ranks 5th-best out of 7 years.
It's fine. It's just reason to look again at everything that's going on in the market.
We're still seeing plenty of big sales, and there are tiers in the market where nothing lasts.
We'll have more to say on first-half market data soon.
For this period, we'll focus on just one of the big sales, 401 N. Dianthus (6br/7ba, 6300 sqft.), a new construction home in the Hill Section that got $6.772M.
They needed only 2 weeks to make that deal. And this is on the non-ocean-view side of the hill.
