House the market? Scherb Homes Group - March 2026

The South Bay real estate market is beginning to wake up as we head into the spring season. Inventory remains limited across much of the region, keeping the market slightly in seller’s territory overall, while certain neighborhoods are offering buyers more opportunities than we saw this time last year. Well-prepared homes are still selling quickly — many within the first 30 days — and often close very close to the asking price.

In this month’s Scherb Homes Market Report, we take a closer look at what’s happening across Rolling Hills, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, Rolling Hills Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, the Hollywood Riviera, Redondo Beach, Torrance, and San Pedro. The report breaks down key data points like pricing, inventory levels, days on market, and local trends — along with Cliff’s notes on what buyers and sellers should be thinking about as we move into the heart of the 2026 spring market.

Testimonial - “I would definitely refer you,” he said. “Without a doubt.”

When Mark Weber helped his daughter Rebecca buy her first home in San Pedro, he was looking for steady guidance, clear communication, and someone who could keep emotions and unnecessary drama from derailing the deal. Even as an experienced buyer himself, Mark appreciated having a trusted advisor by their side—someone who could navigate the complexities, connect the right professionals, and keep the entire process moving forward smoothly.

From Palos Verdes to Manhattan Beach, Hermosa, and Redondo, understanding local market trends, equity opportunities, and timing considerations can make a meaningful difference when buying, selling, or simply planning ahead. This short read offers a practical framework to help homeowners set clear real estate goals for 2026 and beyond.

Leasing in Manhattan Beach, Landing in PVE: Why We Chose Cliff

When Sarah and Norman decided to relocate from Manhattan Beach to Palos Verdes Estates, they turned to the Scherb Homes Group to help them manage two big moves at once—leasing out their Manhattan Beach home and securing a new rental in a very competitive market. With Cliff’s guidance on pricing, prep, and marketing, their Manhattan Beach property leased in just 13 days for $8,000 a month, above the initial asking price. At the same time, his relationships with local agents opened doors to on- and off-market options in Palos Verdes that they wouldn’t have found on their own. As Sarah shared in her testimonial, Cliff was “a good advocate… reliable… and someone who shows up,” striking the right balance between no-pressure support and clear urgency when it mattered most.

House the market? Scherb Homes Group - May 2025

Spring has been full of life for the Scherb family. We recently celebrated our daughter Clover’s 6th birthday, took an unforgettable trip to Catalina Island with our Adventure Guides group, and spent Mother’s Day reflecting on the things that matter most: family, community, and shared experiences. These moments remind us it’s not about the stuff—it’s about the memories we create and hold onto.

House the market? Scherb Homes Group - March 2025

Hey Scherb Homes Family!

Hope you’re doing well and enjoying this beautiful South Bay spring! Our family has been making the most of it lately—Clover and I had a blast camping overnight at the Santa Barbara Zoo with the Adventure Guides. We got a behind-the-scenes tour, saw some amazing animals up close, and slept under the stars with giraffes just a few feet away. Baseball season is also in full swing with Clover playing for the Angels this year, and we’ve been catching up with family and friends between showings and listings. It’s been a season of full hearts and full calendars.
