The week in Torrance
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in Torrance, read the way an inspector reads a house.
The Torrance file →The largest reduction on the desk was 1751 Martina Avenue — down $205,000, from $2,400,000 to $2,195,000, listed by Bonanza Realty.
25 listings changed status: 9 sold, 6 active under contract, 5 pending, 3 coming soon. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
17 homes came to market, asking from $529,000 to $2,938,000.
That is the week, address by address. What any one of these rows means for a house on the same street is the question the file answers next.
