What are the “facts” when it comes to analyzing real estate markets, specifically Palos Verdes real estate trends? 

That question first leads us to ask what real estate really is. When we consider it, we know that it is simply a commodity. Just like any other commodity—gold, silver, live cattle futures—how is the price of any commodity determined?…

A commodity’s price is solely determined by the forces of SUPPLY AND DEMAND

From that, we come up with the next logical question.  How do you measure supply and demand in the residential real estate market?  Supply is the fairly easy part – it’s just the number of properties that were listed during any given period of time.  Demand is a little trickier.  I’ve found the best measure of demand is knowing the number of months of unsold inventory.  In other words, the answer to this question … “Based on the rate at which homes are selling, how long will it take to sell existing levels of unsold inventory?”  That’s demand.  The lower the number for that metric, the higher the demand. 

Now we have the basis to understand and verifiably, credibly and reliably what the facts are that will determine not only what the Palos Verdes homes market is doing now, but where prices might go in the future.  Are you with me so far?  At the very bottom of this article, there will be a short survey that will simply ask if you believe it is more likely that the price for Palos Verdes homes will go up 5% or more in the next 12 months, stay about the same, or go down 5% or more.
