Is the Manhattan Beach real estate market slowing down? Not according to Manhattan Beach Confidential, whose analysis of the first quarter shows no "cooling" in Manhattan Beach real estate sales. Even during the supposedly quiet Easter week at the beginning of April, there were a surprising nine deals made over seven days.

The MB Confidential analysis looked at the number of closed sales in the first 3 months of 2015 and compared the results with the first quarter in each of the past 8 years. There were clear dips in 2008-2009, as the market wobbled and dropped. But after the recovery began in Q3 2009, the first quarter of 2010 reached a "normal" number at 74 closed sales, the same level reached in 2014 (minus 1) and 2015.

Although there were more sales in 2011-2013, the 2013 peak was only 12 sales more in the quarter – 4 more per month difference.

"With chronically low inventory in the past 3-4 years, it would be hard to honestly say that there's been any flagging in demand at all," said realtor Dave Fratello, the author of MB Confidential.
