What On Earth Happened to Fusion Home Sales? 8 Sales in 2022

The Slowest Year on Record for Townhome and Condo Sales in Fusion

My oh my has the real estate market in Fusion South Bay slowed this year.  There were 2o townhomes and condos that sold in the gated community of Fusion in 2021.  As of this post there have been only 8 closed sales in Fusion in 2022…..and the last one sold at the beginning of September.  We’ve posted in the past about year over year comparisons and every year since 2014 there have been about 18 homes a year that sell so six……is a bit off of the mark.

We haven’t even seen a listing in months at this point so look like 8 is the number for 2022.  Normally we would put a link in this post to the current homes for sale in Fusion…..unfortunately that wouldn’t accomplish much at this point.

Let’s hope 2023 picks up the listings and available homes a bit!

Here are the 8 homes that sold in 2022

2 Bedroom “A” Floorplan Hits the Market at 5405 W 149th Unit#7 in Fusion

by

The latest home to hit the market in the gated community of Fusion South Bay is a 2 bedroom “A” floorplan at 5405 W 149th Place Unit#7 in the Hollyglen neighborhood of Hawthorne CA.  The condo seems priced a bit on the high side given that another smaller layout “B” unit is on the market at $815,000 and hasn’t sold.   Having said that the last few sales (at the peak of the market however) sold closer to this list price.    The A  floorplan offers 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with a little over 1,000 sq feet.  The A units sit below the similar B floorplans with the primary difference being that the A has a lower level bedroom and an upper level suite.

The home is in very nice condition and many/most of the features have been updated and look very different from the original builder finishes.

As with all condos and townhomes in Fusion, the home has central A/C and is part of the award winning Wiseburn School District.

5403 W 149th Place #4 in Fusion South Bay Listed for $799,000

by

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*

*Square footage numbers vary as tax records and builder records show a different amount of square feet.  Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed and buyers advised to confirm all details.

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.
