Located near the top of the Palos Verdes Peninsula the La Cresta neighborhood enjoys some panoramic views and close proximity to shopping, dining and entertainment. It is a short drive to beaches and freeways. La Cresta real estate and home sales statistics for January 2009: Active Listings: 16 Single Family Homes are listed for sale priced from $990,000 to $3,295,000. Pending Sales: 3 Homes are in escrow priced from $1,295,000 to $2,250,000.

When rain falls in Southern California the freeways are littered with fender benders and few residents venture out unless they absolutely must. Since attending an open house is an optional activity, many real estate agents cancel a scheduled open house in the event of rain. Not me. Some of my most successful open houses were held in the pouring rain. Here is why I do not let weather dictate whether I hold an open house: 1. I Keep My Word--I have a commitment to the sellers to keep the schedule I promised. They may have told friends and neighbors it will be open. A "No Show" is not the brand I want to promote when my name is on the sign in the front lawn. 2. I Spread the Word: Open house ads are due on Wednesday and from that point forward I am committed to holding it open. Online ads ar...

As I drove along Palos Verdes Drive West (and South) today, I noticed several cars pulled over to the side of the road and many had their cameras out. Ahh yes, it is whale watching season along the California Coast. A few weeks ago I spotted one coming up for air as I walked along the bluffs above the ocean. Whale watching out your window (or on your walk) is one of the many perks of living on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

If you follow my blog you know I think the Palos Verdes Drive South neighborhood is fast becoming the resort side of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. I'll be spending some time in the neighborhood this weekend--showing property, meeting with a prospective client at Trump's Restaurant, holding an open house and delivering a market analysis for another resident. Actually, I'll be spending most of my weekend in the neighborhood! That's OK, it is a great place to spend time, or for the fortunate few, a lovely place to call home.

The land which includes the entire Palos Verdes Peninsula, San Pedro, and parts of Wilmington was part of the first Spanish land grant in California. Juan Jose Dominquez, a member of the 1769 Spanish Portola Expedition to Alta, California, stayed in Alta as a peace officer and guide. He helped protect Junipero Serra and other Franciscan padres who established a chain of missions from San Diego to Sonoma. In September 1782, Pedro Fages, the military commandante of California, became the Provincial Governor of Alta California. He was Dominguez's former lieutenant and accompanied him during the Portola Expedition of 1769.Due to Dominguez's many years of dedicated service to the King of Spain, Governor Fages bestowed a provisional grant to the retired old soldier in March 1784, allowing him...

For the month of January the average sold price per square foot for a Rancho Palos Verdes  was $335.  This down $89 from the previous years January closings that averaged the price per square foot at $424. A large contributor to the lower than average price per square foot is due to the smaller homes selling below market. For example, the home that was located on Hawthorne Blvd sold for under $700k where as the large home on the other side of Grayslake but still on the service road of Hawthorne sold in the 800k range. Please review the detailed graph below to see what the price per square foot has been doing over the last year.
