A survey of Manhattan Beach bank owned homes for sale on online foreclosure listings showed that home prices in the area are still high, but they are certainly lower than price levels before the recession.
Therefore, buyers interested in properties in this affluent city should consider buying now before the overall market recovers and prices shoot up again. On the website of one major foreclosure listings provider, the prices of bank REO homes available for sale range from $734,555 to $2,198,000. One four-bedroom five-bath 3,867-square-foot home is listed at $920,020 while a three-bedroom two-bath 1,470-square-foot house is listed at a higher price of $1 million.
Manhattan Beach homes are pricier compared to other areas in Los Angeles County because most of them were built and designed for affluent families. The city also offers panoramic views of the ocean, has plenty of scenic parks and offers the quiet and peace desired by most people.
