Outlook for June
Overall, the Torrance residential real estate market reported fairly positive stats for the month of May
with a 27% increase in total sales, a 20.5 % bump in listings, a 5.4% improvement in the sales/listing
ratio, and 4.5% decrease in months of inventory. Even the year-to-year median sales price revealed a
3% increase or $18K in aggregate appreciation.
“What should you expect in June?” you ask. Aside from unforeseen circumstances it is reasonable to
conclude buyer and seller interest should increase given mortgage money is relatively inexpensive and
summertime is known for a surge in real estate activity.
