Elevated Manhattan Beach Living On the 300 Block

Why We Took It Off the Market-Then Sold It for More

Modern kitchen with a marble island, three woven stools, gray cabinetry, and glass pendant lights.

Challenge

Achieve a premium price at a slow time of year for an unstaged, 4-story Sand Section home without an elevator. We had strong viewership, but Buyer feedback was consistent regarding the living room being too small. Didn’t receive any serious offers listed for $3,795,000 after 6 weeks on market.

Living room with a curved white sofa and ocean views through the windows.

Strategy

Delay timing past the holidays. Move out, freshly paint and stage home with high-end designer furnishings that showcase the style of the home. Relist property 1 month later for $3,995,000. Reshoot the property and market broadly.

Staged living room with white sofas, teal accents, a round wood coffee table, and a long media console.

Result

Received 2 competing offers within 14 days on market. Closed for $105,000 above original list price in 21 days for $3,900,000.
