🌴Have a small yard but would love a pool? Create special places throughout your home, including adding a plunge pool to soak in after hot days. This is a small, yet special and intimate yard with green space, privacy, mature trees, flowers, and the perfect size pool that compliments the yard, but doesn’t take over.

This plunge pool 🏊 in Ibiza is the inspiration we need for our small yards back home! 🏠

🌴 Another day in the life of a realtor, while vacationing in Marbella..

🌊 Marbesa is one of the most desirable beachside residential communities in eastern Marbella. Located about 8 km east of Marbella's town centre, it is known for its mature pine trees, low-density development, and direct access to sandy beaches. Originally developed in the 1960s, it has become a sought-after location for international buyers looking for either permanent residences or second homes.

🌴 A day in the life of a realtor, while vacationing in Marbella..

☕️ I start my day with a latte from my new favorite café at the foot of the hills, and of course a warm freshly made croissant.

I make my way up to La Mairena. This is an area close to Malaga and Marbella, with elevated luxury living and panoramic sea views on the Costa del Sol. Properties are exclusive, with stunning views and natural charm. This is also an excellent place for investments, as the area is safe, beautiful, close to town, and near many beautiful golf courses….

Our Bhaus Eight May Newsletter just dropped!

🆕 We are excited to share that our team is now a PV Specialist, and have joined the Association of Realtors in Palos Verdes, in addition to our Southbay Association of Realtors. We can't wait to share all the many intricacies of buying and selling in the PV Peninsula, and help our clients as they navigate the PV Peninsula market.

Big-picture takeaway:

🏡 The South Bay is still one of the strongest luxury/coastal submarkets in LA County. Inventory has improved slightly versus the ultra-tight 2021–2023 period, but demand for well-located homes near the beach remains high. The market is behaving differently by price tier.

🌸 Wishing all the wonderful moms a very Happy Mother's Day.

🏡 From Bhaus to Yours.

 Hello,

Spring is in full swing, and we’ve been touring homes throughout the Southbay, so make sure you tune into our new YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@BhausEightRealEstate, to view our home tours and have an insider’s view into all new listings as soon as they hit the market!

The local real estate market is no longer the frenzied seller’s market of the early 2020s, but it is far from weak. Instead, our local real estate market sits in a more balanced-to-slightly seller-leaning phase, shaped by tight inventory, selective buyers, and steady long-term demand.

Home prices are seeing modest year-over-year increases, which signals price stability rather than rapid appreciation - a key theme as we head into the Spring selling season. The Southbay continues to command premium prices due to its coastal location and lifestyle appeal.

The local Spring 2026 RE market is stable, competitive in pockets, and increasingly strategic. Prices are holding, demand remains consistent, and inventory constraints continue to underpin the market. This Spring is about balance - where success depends less on timing the market and more on pricing, preparation, and positioning.

Today I’m taking you on a home tour of an exquisite home located in a walk street in Manhattan Beach, on 25th St, just up a couple of blocks from the Strand. Listed at $6,999,000, this ocean-view home features 3 Beds, 3 ½ baths, and 2597 SF of living space. It is a half lot, sitting directly on the north side of the walkstreet, with south-facing exposure and gorgeous views of the ocean.

Spring always brings a fresh wave of energy, and it’s a great time to make a move if it’s been on your mind. Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just exploring your options, having the right guidance can make all the difference. We’re here to help you navigate each step and make the process feel a whole lot easier. 🌷 If you’re ready to get started (or just have a few questions), send us a message; we’d love to help!

This is also the best time to get your home ready for the Spring selling season, or just to enjoy your space and continue to #loveyourhome! We have put together a list of ideas you can implement!

Hello community,

As we step into the new year, we’re excited about the projects and opportunities ahead. All signs point to a busy year in real estate: interest rates continue their downward trend, while inventory is tightenging (with year-over-year decreases), but as the spring selling season approaches, we expect to see an increase in inventory and increased competition within the buyer pool. Homes that are well staged and strategically priced will attract stronger interest from qualified, motivated buyers.
