Palos Verdes Horse Property 310-493-8333: Los Angeles Coastal Luxury Home Market--Stagnant, Slow or Selling?

No ones denies the housing market is a challenging mix of distressed properties (bank owned and short sales) with stressed out sellers, and a bevy of hesitant buyers with minimal confidence in the market. In times of conflicting, and often confusing data, I've always found the most trusted source to be actual sales. Rarely are these numbers massaged to represent the interest of a person who can gain from an inflated number. Home sales are recorded, and records can be verified. There is comfort in knowing the statistics for actual closed sales.

Los Angeles County has many luxury, high-end housing markets, but this article will focus on the southern coastal cities of Los Angeles County beginning with luxury home sales on the Palos Verdes Peninsula this year.
