5406 W 149th Place #18 – C Floorplan for Sale in Fusion for $735

by

**udate – as of 3/5/19 this home is now in escrow**
We’ve written quite a bit about the C floorplan currently for sale in the 5406 #18 as it’s surprising to see it still on the market.  The
C floorplan is fairly rare and the appeal generally lies in the fact that it’s significantly bigger than the smallest A and B units (around 1,000 square feet), and it offers a 2 car attached garage (A and B units have a 1 car detached garage)  My clients feedback indicates that the floorplan isn’t one of the preferred but again given the size difference between this and the smaller units it’s surprising to see it still on the market.  It certainly appears to be an indication of a slowing market in a community that was white hot in 2018.

We’ve written quite a bit about the E floorplan currently for sale in the 5403 #4 as it’s surprising to see it still on the market.  The E floorplan is one of the most popular in the community and with the last sale being well over $800,000 it’s hard to see why this home is still for sale.  It certainly appears to be a cooling of the real estate market in Fusion South Bay.  The 5403 #4 home is one of the larger 2 bedroom layouts with around 1,400 square feet*

Are the Two Current Listings and Indication That the Fusion Market is Slowing?

by

It wasn’t long ago that homes that came up for sale in Fusion didn’t last long.  Sometimes things were overpriced and didn’t sell immediately but anything priced right…sold quickly.

So is the fact that two homes have now been on the market a while an indication that the market is slowing?

In our opinion it definitely indicates a cooling in Fusion.  Although the time of year and weather (hard to believe that weather might be a factor in  Los Angeles!) have played a role in dampening (litterally) buyers moods to go and look at homes, that’s only a small part of the situation.

Of the two current listings, the home home at 5406 W 149th Place Unit#18 is now  close to 2 full months on the market at 52 days (as of 3/1) That’s a long time compared with 2018 that saw an average of only 11 days on market!  It’s a “C” floorplan which makes it a little hard to guage price (no C units have sold in quite a while) but at $735,000 it’s not too far out of line.

The other home currently on the market is an “E” floorplan at 5403 W 149th Pl # 4 that’s currently listed at $799,000. It’s a beautiful unit with upgrades throughout, custom paint, hardwood floors, and a interior location.  This was certainly one of the high demand floorplans of the past few years so the fact that it’s now been on the market for 44 days is again surprising. Given that the last E unit sold at $825,000 and the last “F” unit (fairly similar) sold at $805,000, the home at 5403 #4 currently priced at $799,000 is not priced out of line.

Why So Many 3 Bedrooms Selling in Fusion Lately?

by

Since the original development in Fusion South Bay, 3 bedroom homes have always been rare to the market.  Usually there are only a few 3 bedrooms that sell during the year due primarily to the lower numbers of larger units.  Most of the units in Fusion are two bedrooms with each building having a very limited number of three bedroom homes.  For some reason in the later parts of 2018 and early 2019 3 bedrooms seem to be the norm…not the exception.  The last 2 homes that have sold in Fusion have been “J” floorplans with all 3 bedrooms on one level.  Of the last 8 sales in Fusion 4 were larger 3 bedrooms….that’s just unheard of in the past 5 years.

2 Homes Currently for Sale in Fusion – 1/31/19 Market Update

by

In years past  “only” 2 weeks on the market wouldn’t have meant anything….that hasn’t been the case over the past two years with homes in Fusion often going into escrow in the first week and some selling before they even hit the market.  The average days on market for the homes that sold in Fusion in 2018 was 11.  With one home currently for sale and  on the market for 15 days and another on the market for over three weeks, does that indicate a slight slowdown or just a temporary blip due to the time of year and weather?  This is normally a slower time of year so we’ll know more as to whether the market heats up along with the weather.

As of 1/31 there are two active listings in Fusion.  The first is a “C” floorplan at 5406 W 149th Pl # 18 that is priced at $735,000 and the other an “E” floorplan at 5403 W 149th Place Unit#4 currently priced at $799,000.  E floorplans had been one of the highest demand layouts over the past 2 years.
