Redondo Beach is bustling with activity, leading the coastal market with 62 home sales this month. It's rare to see sellers getting 100% of their asking price in every deal. This means sellers have leverage, while buyers need to act decisively as competition is high.
We at Harcourts Hunter Mason know the landscape like the back of our hand. Our website has more details on this and other local updates.

Most South Bay homeowners never hear about Form RP-87, a tool that can temporarily lower your property tax bill if your assessed value exceeds current market prices. The deadline to file is November 30, and the process is free. This is not a permanent reassessment but a correction for when values drift apart. In our local market, speeds and prices vary widely, from nine days in El Segundo to 43 in Hermosa Beach. Take five minutes to check if your assessment matches recent closed sales. Knowing this can save you money regardless of whether you plan to move. Contact us for a no-pitch look at your home's numbers.

7 California Bills HOA Boards & Property Managers Need to Watch: Part 2

Yesterday I covered four bills affecting HOA governance, cooling systems, management fees and utility responsibility.
Here are three more California property owners and managers should be watching:

- AB 2025: AI-altered rental photos
Still moving.

This one caught my attention because AI and virtual staging are quickly becoming normal parts of real estate marketing.
AB 2025 would require disclosure when certain digitally altered images are used to advertise rental property.

The original image would also have to be provided or made accessible, including through a public link, URL or QR code.
Normal corrections like cropping, exposure and lighting aren't the target.

Think virtual staging or digitally changing what the property actually appears to contain.

What I'd do: Keep your original photos. If you're using AI or virtual staging for rental advertising, start building disclosure and original-image retention into your workflow.

- SB 1117: ADU impact fees could get cheaper
Still moving.

California already generally exempts ADUs of 750 square feet or less from impact fees.

SB 1117 would change the calculation for certain larger ADUs so proportional impact fees are based on the square footage exceeding 750 square feet.

For a qualifying 1,100-square-foot ADU, that's potentially a calculation based on 350 square feet rather than the entire 1,100.
There are limitations, so verify the final law and local implementation before putting the savings into your construction budget.

- AB 1817: Mobilehome termination notices
Passed Legislature / presented to Governor.

Notices involving termination for a rule violation would need to identify the specific rule, facts surrounding the alleged violation and required corrective action.

A generic "violation of park rules" isn't going to cut it.
The bigger point:

None of this is particularly exciting until you're the owner, manager or board member dealing with it.

That's why I watch these bills before they become compliance problems.

Too curious to retire, too stubborn to be put out to pasture.

The supply story in the South Bay is shifting to San Pedro.

We saw 50 new listings arrive in the last 30 days, raising active inventory to 121 homes. Buyers who are priced out of beach cities are actively transacting here, with 36 sales closing at a median of $807,500.

For sellers, the key is presenting well and pricing against recent closed comps. At Harcourts Hunter Mason, we help neighbors navigate this balanced market with data-driven advice.

7 California Bills HOA Boards & Property Managers Need to Watch: Part 1

Sacramento is busy, and several bills moving right now could directly affect California HOA boards and property managers.
Not all of these are law yet. Some are still moving through the Legislature, while others

Here are four I'm watching:

- AB 1684: HOA restrictions on cooling systems
Passed Legislature / enrolled.

This would significantly limit an HOA's ability to prohibit or restrict code-compliant cooling systems.
The teeth: a willful violation could expose an association to actual damages, a civil penalty of up to $2,000, plus attorney fees and costs.

What I'd do: Review CC&Rs and architectural guidelines now for cooling or AC restrictions.

- AB 1184: Board business by text and email
Still moving.

A majority of directors would generally be prohibited from using serial emails, texts or other communications outside an authorized meeting to deliberate or act on association business.
That group text where the board "just works something out"?
It could become a governance problem.
What I'd do: Keep information sharing separate from deliberation and decision-making. Move the decision to the meeting.

- AB 739: Management fees get more transparent
Still moving.

HOA boards using managing agents would have to annually review a statement detailing specified management fees and expenses. That statement would become an association record available for inspection.

What I'd do: Managers should make sure their fee structures are organized, understandable and easy to explain.

- AB 1892: Who pays when utilities fail?
Passed Legislature / enrolled.

Unless the declaration provides otherwise or the utility provider is responsible, the association would generally be responsible for repairs necessary to restore gas, heat, water or electrical service when the interruption begins in the common area.
That's potentially significant for both maintenance responsibility and association budgets.

Part 2: AI-altered rental photos, ADU impact fees and tougher mobilehome termination notices.

The legislation is important. What it actually costs owners and associations is usually more interesting.

Redondo Beach inventory is so low you could see every active listing in one weekend. There are just 45 homes for sale citywide, and 24 sold in the last 30 days at a median of $1.89M.

This scarcity creates a unique dynamic. Homes move quickly, yet the limited options allow serious buyers to negotiate effectively. Sellers are currently getting a median 97% of list price, which is a key number to watch.

Our perspective is that neighborhood-specific data matters most. A single off-market sale on your block can shift your home's value more than the broader city average.

El Segundo currently has fewer active listings than there are days in the calendar month. Specifically, there are 24 homes for sale.

This scarcity creates a unique dynamic. While 13 homes sold recently at a median of $1.76M in just nine days, the remaining inventory sits longer at a lower median price. This indicates that the homes selling are distinct from those still on the market.

Harcourts Hunter Mason advises that generic online estimates are unreliable here due to low transaction volume. We prefer to look at actual closed comps to determine true value.

Rancho Palos Verdes is seeing one of the widest price gaps in the South Bay. The median asking price is nearly $2.3 million but the median sale price is closer to $1.6 million. This means your home's true value comes from recent closed sales near you, not current listings. Homes priced right sell in about three weeks. Overpriced homes can linger for two months. Check your property taxes with the LA County Assessor before November 30 if your assessment is too high. We can pull recent comp data for your area to help you understand where your home fits in this market.

Did you know Torrance homes are selling in a median of just 18 days? In the past month, 88 homes sold for a median of $1.10M, absorbing nearly all new inventory. The data shows a clear divide: correctly priced homes vanish quickly, while overpriced ones sit for 38 days or longer. This is not a slow market; it is a selective one. For sellers, this means your home's value is well-evidenced by recent nearby sales. For buyers, it means there is a clear path to finding the right home if you act with confidence.
