SOCIAL MEDIA

The land which includes the entire Palos Verdes Peninsula, San Pedro, Torrance, Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach, was part of the first Spanish land grant in California. Juan Jose Dominquez, a member of the 1769 Spanish Portola Expedition helped protect Junipero Serra and other Franciscan padres who established a chain of missions from San Diego to Sonoma. 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 to graze his cattle on Rancho San Pedro. These original land grants were not considered at the time to be a permanent ownership interest, but were instead merely considered a permit to use the land and to occupy it. This was the first private land grant in Southern California. The boundaries of this original land grant have been a controversial subject of historians, with most historians stating that the Rancho San Pedro consisted of approx. 75,000 acres with the northern boundary of Rancho San Pedro extending in a southwesterly direction to the ocean at a point between Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach.

Map of Rancho San Pedro which originally included Rancho Los Palos Verdes.

After the death of Juan Jose in 1809, Manuel Gutierrez, who had been the ranch manager of the Dominquez ranch, became the executor of Juan Jose’s estate. In his will, drawn up three days before his death, as Juan Jose Dominguez had no wife or children, he left half of Rancho San Pedro to Cristobal Dominguez and the other half was divided between Mateo Rubio, who had been in charge of ranch operations, and Gutierrez. When Cristobal realized that his uncle died in debt and neglected his rancho, he initially wanted no part of his inheritance. He had no money to pay his uncle’s creditors and could not occupy the rancho, even if he wanted, because he was still obligated to the military. He, in fact, did not even attempt to defend his title to the land for seven years. Gutierrez paid off the debts owed by Juan Jose Dominguez, established residence and assumed control of the rancho.

PIERRE KOENIG, ARCHITECT

BY APPOINTMENT ONLY 7127 CREST ROAD - RANCHO PALOS VERDES

$1,450,000

Residence for Harold and Martha Henbest, 1966. The architect responsible for arguably two of the most iconic designs of the Case Study House Program works here on a flat, ocean-view lot in Rancho Palos Verdes. As with most of Koenig’s designs, the first visual is one of understatement at the street. But past the walled and gated entry, one steps into a highly dramatic and purposefully practical home for Southern California living. A unique, folded-plate roof dramatizes the interiors which, flanked by opposing glass walls, are open and filled with natural light. And, as if anticipating today’s lifestyle back in 1966, the original design includes a formal living room, separate dining area and kitchen with adjoining family room; each placed with a strong orientation to the outdoor spaces. Mature Japanese-influenced gardens occupy the front grounds, and the architecture, presented

In Real Estate…Time really is Money.

Selling your Home? Let me show you how to realize Optimum Home Value Step 1: Intelligent Pricing. You gain maximum exposure and reach a greater total percentage of prospective buyers when you price your property at market value. If your home is listed at a price that is above market value, you will miss out on prospective buyers who would otherwise be prime candidates to purchase your home. Contrarily, if you list your home at a price that is below market value, you will ultimately sell for a price that is not the optimum value for your home.

Step 2: Time Value of Money A critical success factor when pricing your home is timing. A property attracts the most attention, excitement and interest from the real estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed on the market. If your home is priced improperly at the initial listing phase, or ‘peak interest period,’ your property may languish on the market. Ultimately, this may lead to a below market value sale price, or worse, no sale at all. Therefore, your home has the greatest probability for a ‘optimum value’ sale when it is new on the market and the price is reasonable established.

Step 3: Optimum Home Value = P x T Call me for a private consultation!

Knowing each pocket of walk-streets is essential to properly pricing a Sand Section home. When valuing Real Estate in the Sand Section of Manhattan Beach, there is no question it is one of the most unique markets in the Country. There are so many variables when it comes to accurately pricing or valuing a property it could drive a high level rocket scientist into a tizzy. To better understand the list of variables I have provided a list of questions that must be answered before pin-pointing a true value. Even if you think you can figure it out, there is nothing more accurate than the market itself. The marketplace is the final determining factor of value. The real value of a property is what it closes escrow at. That is assuming it was properly exposed to the marketplace and not just simply sold to a relative or similar type event.

WALK STREET MASTERPIECE 409 20TH ST | $2,799,000 What makes this one of the most desired walk-streets in Manhattan Beach? First of all , it is just about 4 or 5 blocks to the downtown area which makes it an easy walk or bike ride to breakfast lunch or dinner. Additionally, this home is East of Highland, which offers several distinct advantages. One is that it is very easily accessible to Live Oak Park which allows for guests to find coveted parking near the property. This walk-street is sloped, which helps improve the view corridors. Also being East of Highland, it will save you a million dollars or more. If it were West of Highland, you could pay this much just for a tear down. Combine all of these factors with the design of one of the premier architects, Pat Killen, you also get a great floor-plan and pristine property condition. You may have just found the sweet spot right here in Manhattan Beach.

Price and Value:

The market plateau is seen across the price and value. The price per square foot and median list price have both been reasonably stagnant.

Despite recently falling prices, the price per square foot has stayed reasonable flat. This implies that there’s a portion of the market being priced at a premium.

In a market where prices are rising fairly consistently, price per square foot is essentially flat. This often implies that new homes coming on the market are pricier, and also larger than older homes. As a result, the value one can buy stays the same.
