Los Angeles County South Bay Beach Cities Real Estate $$$ Transacted for August 2008
Shorewood has not yet published their end-of-month data for July so I'll give them a nudge. Check back on this blog for an end-of-July update.
In the meantime, on to August. The summer season by all appearances continued its bounce, though vastly subdued from earlier years. Dollar volume is down across all four beach cities. Sales volume compared to a year ago seems weakest in south Redondo Beach (90277).

YOY Comparisons
These numbers are a YOY comparison of the doubly smooth moving average of dollar volumes. I think of them as "recent pain" (or recent gain) indicators.
Culver City is showing a little bit of resilience this summer. Everything else is down YOY.

Relative Strength
This is a longer-term view of the strength of dollar volume in a given zip code. For this month 5.3 is the strongest (suffering the least amount of chronic pain) and -0.2 is the weakest (suffering the most chronic pain). Think of it is as the area above 0 on the YOY graph with the area below 0 of the YOY graph subtracted out.
Last month's calculations of Relative Strength contains errors.

I'm keeping my eye on the upcoming tsunamis as reported by Mr. Mortgage. I recommend that any active housing market watcher do the same.
