We’re happy to announce our latest sale at 5404 W 149th Place in Fusion South Bay. We represented the sellers of this beautiful “A” floorplan condo in one of the South Bay’s only newer construction gated communities. The combination of a very nice condo with a number of upgrades and our staging made the home shine. With 7 offers, almost all over asking price, this was definitely a winner. The real estate market in Fusion South Bay couldn’t be hotter with any and all new listing selling immediately and some even selling before it hit the market.
Congratulations to our client Peter for the quick sale of his beautiful home at the impressive price of $547,000.
Coming to the market in early November, this beautifully updated condo offers the perfect combination of newer construction, active lifestyle, ideal location and affordable price.

With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, each on a different level, this is ideal for a multitude of lifestyles. See information and floorplan of Fusion South Bay “A” unit.

It seems that nobody is selling in Fusion these days which is a bit unusual as so many owners in the complex weathered some tough years and homes are once again nearing the peak. As a realtor who frequently sells homes in this great community, it’s always a challenge when the inventory is this low as there’s simply nothing to sell. Fusion has always been a very unique market as there are often either too many homes on the market, and they all sit until the first one sells (and then they seem to go like dominoes) or there’s no homes on the market. The appeal of Fusion is the combination of price, location, and age which makes them a great value. Built in 2006 and 2007, they sit just east of Manhattan Beach but at dramatically lower prices. Most buyers often start their searches in Redondo Beach or El Segundo, but after looking at what $550,000 or so gets them in those towns, they opt for the very new, very well located Fusion townhomes.
So what’s an interested buyer to do?
Hollyglen, Hawthorne in the Wiseburn School District
Fusion South Bay is a small gated community adjacent to Manhattan Beach just east of Aviation. The homes were built from 2005-2007 and is technically located in the neighborhood of Hawthorne known as Hollyglen. It is a unique area due to it’s location just east of Manhattan and El Segundo and offers it’s own award winning school system knows as Wiseburn. The community features 2 and 3 bedroom townhome style condominiums and the community features some nice open space areas as well as pool and spa.
Fusion is a fantastic alternative for buyers looking in the nearby cities of Redondo Beach, El Segundo and Manhattan Beach. Due simply to the zip code, Fusion offers much newer, nicer and larger home options for a much lower price.
When we were at the peak of the market the townhomes in the Fusion complex drew a great deal of interest for many couples and singles priced out of the nearby Beach Cities. Fusion is technically on 149th Street in Hawthorne, but is just off Aviation Blvd and directly across the street from Manhattan Beach. As the market cooled so did the prices in Fusion and we saw smaller 2 bedroom townhomes selling below $400,000 which was hard to believe. The market has picked back up and prices are somewhat stable but the inventory of homes in Fusion continues to defy the norm and goes from no homes and high demand to multiple homes with less buyer interest all in short periods of time.

The real estate market in Fusion South Bay doesn’t always follow the normal trends and patterns of some of the surrounding neighborhoods. Unlike the surrounding cities of Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach in which home inventory has been down and prices are on still on the rise, the market in Fusion comes in waves. As of several months ago there were almost no homes for sale and when one came on the market it quickly sold. The next few homes that became available were priced on the very high end and sat for some time (some still sitting) and as many of the newer listings were based on those prices there is an abundance of homes for sale ranging from the smaller A and B floorplans to two 3 bedroom units that are generally rare and not often on the market. Fusion is a great alternative to the more expensive Redondo Beach, Manhattan and El Segundo. The homes were built between 2005 and 2007 so they feel much larger and newer than anything in a similar price range found nearby.
