In my article last week, I discussed the overall sales numbers for single family Palos Verdes homes sold in the first half of 2023 with the number of homes sold (262 in 2023 from 357 in 2022), a decrease in the average sales price (7.3%), and a decrease in the average price per square foot (6.7%). Higher interest rates have slowed down both the number of buyers in the market and the number of active listings for sale as more owners decided to stay in their existing homes the first half of 2023. Below is information on specific Palos Verdes neighborhoods. The chart above can be enlarged by clicking on it or go to the “Statistics” tab above.
The City of Rolling Hills posted the largest gain in average sales price for Palos Verdes homes – $5,584,444 for the first half of 2023 compared to $3,952,588 in the first half of 2022 for a 41% gain, followed by Malaga Cove ($136,861 gain or 3.9%) and Palos Verdes Drive South ($41,771 gain or 1.7%). All other neighborhoods showed a reduction in average sales price the first half of 2023.
Three Palos Verdes neighborhoods posted gains in average square foot price in the first half of 2023.
