8 of 11 Homes in El Segundo Ever Sold Over $2.0M Have Been in 2016*
By Keith Kyle
If you need any evidence that prices are sky high in El Segundo just look towards the luxury market. It wasn’t long ago that we wrote a post on whether El Segundo was ready for $2,000,000 homes and it seems that it’s relatively commonplace just 12 months later. As of July 17th there are 3 single family homes in El Segundo priced over $2,000,000. In the nearby luxury real estate markets of Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach this wouldn’t be unusual but in El Segundo it’s fairly unbelievabe. It’s certainly due, in part, to many buyers being priced out of the South Bay and their money goes much further in El Segundo. In addition there is a pending sale and 4 closed sales in 2016 priced over the formerly unheard of $2.0M mark.
In 2016 we’ve seen 4 $2.0M+ homes plus the one home in currently in escrow (as of 7/16/16)

El Segundo Real Estate Market Update
By Keith Kyle
Real estate in the South Bay and specifically El Segundo continues at a pretty torrid pace. Slowly rising inventory should alleviate some of the pressure and we may be heading towards a more balanced market. July was the new high for active homes for sale with 30, topping the year high of 17 in June. Median home price of active listings is $799,000. The primary reason for this significant jump in inventory is due to the two new construction projects at the 100 Block of Walnut and the 900 block of Pepper, a 12 unit project from architect Pat Killen.
Currently there are 14 homes in escrow which is also a considerable jump from the 9 homes in escrow during the month of June.
We are still seeing quite the disparity between the average list prices of homes in El Segundo vs. the average sold home prices. This is primarily due to sellers often listing homes at a “make me move” type price in which they’re looking for something well beyond market values.
