The South Bay market is stable, selective, and quietly shifting. This January update covers what’s happening across each local city, where buyers have leverage, and where sellers are starting to regain the upper hand as we move into 2026.

A behind-the-scenes look at how the Scherb Homes Group helped a local family secure their first investment property in Redondo Beach. From long-term market analysis and strategic timing to strong negotiation and inspections, this story highlights how thoughtful planning and advocacy can create lasting value for buyers.

Set high in the Golden Hills neighborhood of Redondo Beach, this light-filled lease offers elevated views, vaulted ceilings, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Just minutes from the beach, The Strand, and bike access into Hermosa Beach, it blends coastal lifestyle with everyday convenience. A private patio, versatile garage, and central A/C complete this lifestyle-focused South Bay rental from Scherb Homes Group.

As we head into the new year, many South Bay homeowners are rethinking how their home fits into their life, finances, and long-term plans. 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.

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.

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.

Hello Scherb Homes Family,

I hope this message finds you well. We’ve had a busy and joyful start to the year, celebrating Kimberly’s dad’s 80th birthday, enjoying the Daddy-Daughter dance at Clover’s School, welcoming my mom from the East Coast, and participating in the Redondo Beach 10K with friends. However, the recent fires in and around Los Angeles have been concerning, and our thoughts are with those affected.
