Cindy Shearin presents

Gracing one of the best streets in East Manhattan Beach, where locals move to enjoy larger lots, homes, and yards proudly stands an ideal family compound. Not being a thru-street makes this address a safer spot for kids to play and ride bikes, and with the prime hill-top location, one gets city light views as one of the many perks this estate has to offer.

The expansive residence is 4400 sq ft with five bedrooms and five baths.  All the bedrooms in the home are spacious, some with built-in cabinets and remodeled baths.  Meanwhile, soaring ceilings and large open rooms make the common areas feel bright and open.  There is plenty of room to spread out with a large family room and separate living room, formal dining, casual breakfast room plus an eat-in kitchen.

The professionally landscaped gardens surrounding the home are lush and full, offering immense privacy in the backyard, perfect for hosting pool parties in the large pool with a soothing waterfall.  The side-by-side three-car garage will be a welcomed bonus for the family with many drivers, a rarity in Manhattan Beach.

Address: 1613 5th Street, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

Price: $3,349,000

Haute Residence: To gain perspective on the second quarter of 2021, how did Q2 in 2020 real estate perform in the Manhattan Beach market?

Cindy Shearin: The last half of the year continued to be strong and gained more strength. With people becoming more comfortable being out and about, acquiring the vaccine for so many, along with folks having more clarity on work-life, school-life, and seeing a way forward are all reasons we see so much movement in the market. Also, interest rates are still meager, which buyers naturally find motivating.

HR: Is it still a seller's market? If yes, for how much longer?

CS: Yes, it is still a seller's market, and we don't see it changing anytime soon. This, coupled with low-interest rates, is what is driving up prices in our area. In a seller's market, it is even more important to have a great realtor representing you. In a competitive market, as we have, one needs a realtor that knows how to correctly position, prepare, demand, and price your home to sell.  Properly handling multiple offers is crucial to obtain the best outcome.

HR: The migration from the big metropolitan city that is Los Angeles to smaller communities took many people out of the city. Are they adapting to the beach life, or is the beach area planning a more "cosmopolitan" lifestyle?

CS: Manhattan Beach is already an upscale beach city that draws a chic crowd. The city has drawn great chefs to the restaurants, and great boutiques for shopping. The movement in the last dozen years from people moving in from the westside adds to the casual-chic environment's growth. Likewise, we've gained national attention as one of the most desirable places to live in the country. We are LA's greatest city by the sea!

Haute Residence: Has Manhattan Beach real estate seen its usual activity to the start of a year so far in 2021 or different?

Cindy Shearin: The market here has remained very healthy and continues to maintain low inventory.  This time of year, we typically see many buyers looking for primary residences as well as 2nd or 3rd homes before the start of summer.   Our projections show that we will continue to have a lot of activity due to the low inventory, the number of buyers that are serious to purchase and the low interest rates which have definitely spurred the luxury real estate market.  The market time for most homes is under 30 days.  We continue to see multiple offers on the entry-level product.  Buyers for this product are entry-level buyers as well as investors from around the world.

HR: For those that live in the city and own a second home in Manhattan Beach, do you see people still renting these or inhabiting them lately?

CS: We see both scenarios. The South Bay area continues to be a highly desired escape from the larger city.  There are more and more purchasers working from home.  These buyers are purchasing secondary properties and escaping to a more relaxed seaside location.   There are some owners and purchasers who desire to mix up the staycation ownership and leasing the home during special times of the year.

HR: What makes Manhattan Beach stand out from other beachfront communities?

CS:  Manhattan Beach is well known as one of the best cities in the US to live in.  Not only is our town known for its gorgeous beaches and quaint downtown shopping village, but we have a vast number of excellent restaurants with famous chefs and a fun bar & nightlife scene.  For families, our top-rated schools, a plethora of parks, and sports programs make Manhattan Beach a perfect fit for growing families.  

For business professionals and young adults, the proximity to LAX, downtown LA, Beverly Hills and the westside make the location ideal for commuting and enjoy the city-life LA has to offer.

The post Manhattan Beach Real Estate Update With Cindy Shearin appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Some of the most coveted properties in Southern California lay along The Strand in the South Bay. This famous four-mile pedestrian pathway is draped between gorgeous beachside estates and pristine sandy beaches from North Manhattan Beach to the border of South Redondo Beach. Ocean views are locked-in along The Strand, as well as iconic vistas of the famous Manhattan Beach Pier, and the Hermosa Beach Pier that was featured in the Hollywood blockbuster film "LaLa Land".

Manhattan Beach Realtor Cindy Shearin of the Shearin Group has a full understanding of what life is like living, building and selling multiple homes on The Strand. Previously living on The Strand herself, Shearin has a unique perspective and a wealth of knowledge to share with her clients. Cindy currently has multiple buying and selling opportunities, rental opportunities, and even shared ownership options on The Strand in the South Bay.

Buying and selling opportunities include estates with incredible white-water views, some with pools, yards, and rooftop decks or private courtyards.  Hosting the ultimate summer soiree or Holiday Firework event from your Strand home can be yours now.

A completely unique option for ownership on The Strand in which Shearin is the exclusive agent is the only Condo-tel in the South Bay called Beach House. “The Beach House is an excellent opportunity for clients who want to own on The Strand to enjoy all that the strand-lifestyle has to offer along with the comforts of an upscale hotel, yet not have to carry the responsibility of seaside home maintenance,” explains Shearin. Coupled with that is the perk of being able to own on The Strand for under a million dollars.

Rental properties are also available on The Strand. This is a great option for those considering purchasing on The Strand but wants to try it on for size.  Likewise, those vacationing for the summer, or people who tend to move around for work, but still want to live the good life while in the South Bay find renting a great option. Renting a classic beach home allows one to experience oceanfront living in one of the most highly desired locations in Southern California.  Cindy’s properties are priced to lease quickly, so inquire now!

Give Cindy a call today to discuss the best option for your good-life on The Strand.

Address: The Strand, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

Price: Multiple opportunities ranging from just under $1M to over $20M
