šŸŒ§ļø South Bay Homeowners, El NiƱo is up ahead! Don’t wait for weather to hit to protect your greatest asset. . . your home.

Here are 8 things you should be doing NOW to safeguard your property:

šŸ”Ž Inspect your roof: Schedule a roofer before a leak happens to check for weak spots, loose shingles, pooling, and flashing issues.

šŸ’§Clear rain gutters: Hire a service to remove debris from gutters and ensure downspouts properly divert water away from your foundation.

šŸ”Check your trees: Have a licensed arborist walk your property to identify weak limbs and rotted trees before storm cleanup causes months of delays.

🪟Examine windows: Check the exterior perimeter for loose seals, clear weep holes of dirt and debris, and inspect your weatherstripping.

🪠 Test sump pumps: Call a plumber (or an electrician) to ensure your pump is running efficiently before a flood happens.

šŸ‚Clear property drains: Walk your property to examine drains and clear them of all dirt and debris.

🌊Stock up on sandbags: If your property is vulnerable to pooling or ocean storm surges, grab sandbags from local public works yards or fire stations in Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, or Torrance.

šŸ¤“Review insurance: Talk to your agent now about flood coverage, mudflows, sump pump failures, and waiting periods.

At Chhabria Real Estate Co., we’ve worked with the best local trades for over 40 years. Reach out if you need a trusted referral to get your home prepared. The best case is you’ve just taken care of important deferred maintenance that should be regularly scheduled anyway šŸ™Œ

Curious what $2.6M actually buys in West LA right now? The answer is all about location and flexibility.

Buyers often think they have to compromise between a quiet, tree-lined residential street and living minutes from hubs like Culver City and Century City. The Beverlywood Vicinity (90034 zip code) is the hidden sweet spot that offers both, thanks to historical building restrictions that kept the massive apartment blocks seen in neighboring areas out of the neighborhood.

At this price point, you aren’t buying rolling acreage; you’re buying an optimized urban compound. A comprehensively renovated LA Spanish home with a permitted Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) completely changes the math. At 9127 Hargis St, a high-end detached ~496 sq ft ADU acts as a true value multiplier, offering a luxury home office, extended family suite, or income potential to justify the footprint.

If you want sprawling land, this neighborhood isn’t for you. But if you want a meticulously designed 4-bed, 3.5-bath property with high-end finishes right in the middle of the Westside, this is exactly how it’s done.

Most professionals spend a career paying rent on space they will never own.
331 E Carson Street is the better option.

The commercial space is already built out the way a practice actually works. Eleven private offices, a reception area, a file room, four storage rooms. 2,922.10 square feet, of commercial space and 2 additional, occupied residential units for income.

Zoning is LBCCA, which permits most professional, medical and personal service uses by right. No conditional use permit. No hearing. For an owner-user, that is months and real money already spent by someone else.

Kinda chic. ✨
528, 530 and 532 The Strand. One oceanfront parcel in Hermosa Beach, three separate legal addresses, directly on the sand just south of the pier.

Two upper one bedrooms and a beach level two bedroom. Every unit with its own private outdoor space and its own in-unit laundry, which on beachfront is genuinely rare.

Three addresses mean three decisions instead of one. Occupy one and lease the others. Lease all three. Keep one for friends and visiting colleagues. Or hold the parcel with income while you plan a build.

And because it is classified residential income rather than a personal residence, it can serve as replacement property in a 1031 exchange. A home on this same sand, bought as a residence, cannot.

A 30 x 80 lot on the sand. $5,299,000.

Did you know that in certain areas of Palos Verdes, trees have rights? OK, the property owners do, but that’s because in 1989 your neighbors voted to protect your view. Most people living under this protection have never read it.

The short version: California recognizes no right to a view, so Rancho Palos Verdes wrote its own exception, and it is the reason a view here is worth what it is.

The limit on a neighbor’s tree is not sixteen feet. It is whichever is lower, sixteen feet or the roofline of the house it grows next to. On a single-story neighbor that is lower than most people assume, and lower favors you.

It stops at the city line. Rolling Hills and Rolling Hills Estates each run their own. Palos Verdes Estates has no city ordinance at all.

And it is a process, not an automatic remedy. Certified letter, mediation, a $5,259 application, a public hearing, and you pay for the trimming.
Worth knowing whether your address is one it covers. The rest is in the swipe. ā¬…ļøā¬…ļøā¬…ļø

Ask an owner what they paid for and they will describe the house. Pull the comps and it often proves that it was the view.

This one surprises people every time. California protects your fence line and your title. It does not protect what you look at.

Two permits, two different questions. Which one applies to you depends entirely on when the tree got tall.

Four cities. Four different answers.
RANCHO PALOS VERDES Ā· Proposition M, 1989
ROLLING HILLS Ā· its own ordinance
ROLLING HILLS ESTATES Ā· its own ordinance
PALOS VERDES ESTATES Ā· no city ordinance
Three of the four protect views by code.

Palos Verdes Estates is the one that catches people. No city ordinance at all. The Homes Association and a set of deed restrictions from 1923 settle these issues instead.

Everyone quotes sixteen.

Almost nobody looks at the roofline. On a single-story neighbor, sixteen is the wrong number, and it is wrong in your favor.

ā˜ ļø If your buyer walks, is the sale dead?

It is the fear every seller carries into escrow, and it is the moment a lot of homes get repriced out of panic.

Here is what most people never see: a cancellation is almost never about your house. Financing falls apart, a buyer’s own sale collapses, cold feet on their end. None of it changes what your home is worth, yet the reflex is to drop the price and tell the whole market you are motivated.

Sometimes the better move is to go quiet. Pull the home from the open market and the buyers who were watching start to feel it slip away. Absence does what a price cut never could. It hands the leverage back to your corner.

We just closed a Lunada Bay estate exactly this way, at the number, with the seller’s price and privacy intact.

Our founders voted for independence on July 2, 1776. The 4th just got the wording tidied up.
So on America’s real anniversary, here is how much of what came next was built right here at home along the stretch of our South Bay coast. Swipe through and tell us what you didn’t know about our South Bay history āž”ļøāž”ļøāž”ļø

šŸ˜ļø In the 1920s the Olmsted Brothers, sons of the man who co-designed Central Park, laid out Palos Verdes Estates. It became one of the first modern master-planned communities in the country, and its ideas, the homeowner association, deed covenants, and an architectural review board, spread across America.

šŸ¦øā€ā™‚ļøTorrance’s own Louis Zamperini ran in the 1936 Olympics, survived 47 days adrift in the Pacific after his bomber went down, endured two years as a prisoner of war, and came home and forgave his captors. Torrance named its airport for him.

He died on July 2, the country’s real birthday. šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

šŸš€ 50 years ago, to honor America’s bicentennial in 1976, South Korea presented the U.S. with a 17-ton bronze bell. It stands over the harbor in San Pedro and still rings every Fourth of July, once for each of the thirteen original colonies.

The engine that guided and set the first astronauts down softly on the moon was built right here in Redondo Beach, at what is now Northrop Grumman’s Space Park.

The same engine later helped fly the crippled Apollo 13 safely home.

šŸBeach volleyball grew up in Manhattan Beach, home of the sport’s oldest and most prestigious tournament since 1960, and an Olympic event now.

šŸ„šŸ¾And surfing, Hawaiian and centuries old, reached the mainland here in 1907, when George Freeth demonstrated surfing off the Redondo pier. Two things the world does for fun, both with roots right here at home.

šŸš‘ In 1969, Harbor General Hospital, now Harbor-UCLA, ran the nation’s first hospital-based paramedic program. Before it, a heart attack on the street usually meant a ride, not treatment. The model spread nationwide. It is why a stranger can save your life today.

šŸ“The navigation in every phone, every rideshare, every delivery truck was shaped in El Segundo starting in the 1960s and handed to the entire planet at no charge. Few Amer

You don’t remember buying into an HOA, so why does someone still get a say over what your Palos Verdes home looks like?

Meet the Art Jury. And before that sounds like something you’d want to avoid, understand that the Art Jury is the single biggest reason Palos Verdes still looks like Palos Verdes.

It’s a 1923 architectural review board, older than the city itself, that reviews the exterior of nearly every home here. A few things that surprise people:

It covers two areas only: all of Palos Verdes Estates and the Miraleste pocket of Rancho Palos Verdes. Not the whole Peninsula.

It comes with the land, not a membership you sign up for — which is exactly why no-HOA buyers don’t see it coming.

The jury of six looks at each home’s exterior: additions, windows, roofing, fences, landscaping… even exterior paint color. (Inside is all yours.)

Planning to remodel? You’ll get two sign-offs — the Art Jury and a city permit — and larger projects can add a third.

And the one big fact worth knowing before you buy: a home carries its approval history with it, so it’s smart to confirm past work was properly signed off before you close the deal.
That’s the kind of thing we check for you.

None of this is a reason to hesitate: it’s the reason your view stays your view, and why this community has held its character for a century.

Thinking about a specific home in PVE or Miraleste? Let’s talk.

SOLD in South Redondo Beach šŸŽ‰

Our buyers wanted it all: brand-new, turnkey, four bedrooms, room to work from home, top Redondo schools, walk-to-the-beach close. The kind of list that usually means overpaying in order to check every box.

So, we didn’t chase the opening number.
First listed at $2,859,000. Our buyers closed at $2,495,000. That’s $364,000 below where it started, on a brand-new home that needed nothing.

The home spent 132 days finding its number.
We were ready when it did. 🌊

That’s what a buyer’s advocate who knows value does: not just find you a house, find you the right one at the right number with room to grow.

The largest IPO in history just touched down in the South Bay just 15 mins. from the sands of our shores. What does this mean for you??

The launch sequence matters. The funds don’t free up all at once. Under the lock-up terms it releases in stages, with the bulk arriving around the six-month mark. If you’re thinking of capitalizing on this liquidity event, the move is now, not the week the shares finally clear.

Sellers, you want to be the only landing pad on the block. List among the few and buyers compete for you. Wait six months and you are competing with everyone.

Buyers, the gauge reads income, not net worth. A lender underwrites documented, repeatable income, not your brokerage balance, so get connected to a private banking desk before you write an offer. We can help with that.

Already own here? When the equity is in hand, it does not have to leave the South Bay to find its next runway. We’ve tracked the satellite orbits where the capital is already moving.

Comment ORBIT and we will send you The Next Chapter, our guide to making your next move in L.A. real estate.
