The week in Manhattan Beach
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in Manhattan Beach, read the way an inspector reads a house.
The Manhattan Beach file →The largest reduction on the desk was 436 27th Street — down $350,000, from $6,500,000 to $6,150,000, listed by eXp Realty of California, Inc.
22 listings changed status: 13 active under contract, 5 sold, 3 pending, 1 back on market. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
8 homes came to market, asking from $2,350,000 to $6,000,000.
That is the week, address by address. What any one of these rows means for a house on the same street is the question the file answers next.
