Notably the number of homes selling is on a sharp decline with the number of active listings is at a 12 month high. The chart below shows a month by month representation of the number of closed or recorded home sales. October saw only 8 homes that sold. By itself that wouldn’t mean much as the number of homes that sold can fluctuate greatly in El Segundo.

Several new construction homes drove the real estate market in October to a very high median price. With 3 homes built in 2018 selling in the month the median home price in El Segundo was $1,595,000 which was well above the norm. October saw 8 sold homes in this coastal community with the lowest priced sale of the month at $503,000 for a 2 bed/2 bath condo on Imperial and the largest sale at $1,914,510 for one of the new construction homes in the brand new community just off of Imperial Highway.
July was a solid month as expected in the El Segundo CA housing market. There were 15 homes sold which is higher than normal.

It wasn’t long ago that we were wondering if a $2,000,000+ home price was possible in El Segundo. It then became a question of whether $2,000,000 would become a relatively common number. We’ve seen several $2.0M price sales in the past few months.
July saw a big number as well with the sale at 748 Lomita in El Segundo. This was a 2004 built Mediterranean home with 5 bedrooms, 4 1/2 bath and an estimated 4,000 square feet. Priced and sold at $2,300,000 and listed by Lynn O’Neil of Beach City Brokers.
