Outlook for June
Overall trending stats for Hermosa Beach during the month of May were less than impressive compared to
the first quarter of 2014. Declines in performance were recorded for total sales, median sales price, median
days to sell, sales/listing ratio, and months of inventory. However, year-over-year data reveals the median
sales price is still 11.77% higher in May 2014 as compared to May 2013.

Whats my best guestimate for June? you ask. Considering the cost to borrower remains relatively
inexpensive I suspect buyer interest will increase in weeks to come. Also, summertime is an extremely busy
real estate season (historically speaking) so I assume both seller and buyer activity to intensify beyond what
we have seen thus far in 2014. That said anyone curious about real estate listing or purchasing should
contact me today to discuss how I can be of service to you.
