Manhattan Beach Median Home Prices
Updated: April 13, 2024
The median price for homes in Manhattan Beach as of Dec. 31, 2023, was $2,800,000.
The prior year, it had reached $3,137,000, meaning that the median price dropped 10.7% in just one year.
It was like whiplash, because 2022's data showed an amazing rise of 33% over 3 years (2020-22). (For more on the historical numbers and recent drop, see this article.)
By the end of 2024's first quarter (Jan. 1-March 31), the median price had dipped 1% to $2.772M.
Median price increases in recent years had reflected a pandemic-era boom that saw dramatic increases in many real estate markets, but particularly here in Manhattan Beach.
Low interest rates were a clear factor, low inventory added price pressure, and Manhattan Beach's role as second-home destination is also helping to drive purchases.
The last time we saw such a quick rise in the median price for homes in Manhattan Beach was in calendar year 2017, when the median price was at $2,349,000 by year end. This was an increase of 13.2% over the 2016 median price of $2,075,000.
These figures, by the way, were not calculated by robots or automated systems, they were calculated by a local broker, Dave Fratello, and they represent the true median price, not "average" price like you might see on some websites.
The median price is the exact middle of all the data, where half of the homes sold higher, and half sold lower.
The chart below shows how the median price dropped throughout 2023 and into early 2024.
