“Inventory increased this past period and the quantity of sold homes took a bit of an uncharacteristic dive (77 sold in this period compared to 89 in the same period last year). News of the continued economic problems in Europe has once again created quite a bit of uncertainty amongst consumers however the Fed continues to reassure us that interest rates are going nowhere quick. All this is great news for those not ready to partake in leveraging their available resources into real estate assets however the competition in the marketplace has been dramatic with various type of buyers. Fact: the number of all cash buyers in Manhattan Beach has increased 8% this year to 36%. A staggering statistic when you consider the average home price is over $1.7M! Redondo Beach increased 20% since last year ($696k average selling price) to 66% total all cash transactions. The net result higher home valuations and Palos Verdes and Manhattan Beach is leading the way. God Bless America and Happy 4th of July!”

Rancho Palos Verdes – The Fourth City By Maureen Megowan / RE/Max Palos Verdes Execs The idea of a fourth city on the Palos Verdes Peninsula was first advanced in 1962 as an answer to controlling the unbridled development that was occurring in the unincorporated areas on the Peninsula, which remained under the control of Los Angeles County. Unfortunately, these early efforts were never able to get off

the ground. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors continued to routinely grant zone changes to developers. In desperation, more than 40 homeowners groups joined together in 1965 to form the Peninsula Advisory Council (PAC) in the hopes that this collaboration would add weight to their arguments against the proposed zone changes. In early 1965, the City of Palos Verdes Estates also attempted to annex a portion of present day Rancho Palos Verdes totaling 2.92 square miles bordered by High Ridge Road to the east and the Pacific Ocean, including the Marineland Park, in an attempt to broaden its tax base. This effort failed, however. The PAC continued to protest against the multitude of zone changes being approved by the County Board

of Supervisors. According to PAC’s records, 43 times they protested to the County, and 43 times they failed. Then, in 1969, came the new County Master Plan for the Peninsula that provided for a population density far beyond what the local residents wanted. This master plan allowed for high density development to occur along the undeveloped portion of the coast line. In response, a Peninsula-wide organization was formed that same year called Save Our Coastline (SOC). Unlike previous efforts, SOC was able to combine political and financial power with experienced local governments focused on achieving a common goal. However, after several unsuccessful fights against the County’s Master Plan for the Peninsula, it became evident that the only way to preserve the environment and to gain control over local zoning issues was through incorporation of a fourth city. The efforts to gain approval for a new city were arduous. When more than 50% of the landowners in the city protested the formation of a new city, SOC pursued and

won a lawsuit that a majority vote of the voters in the city should be the only approval necessary. The election to incorporate Rancho Palos Verdes was finally held on August 28, 1973. An overwhelming majority of 5 to 1 voted in favor of incorporation. The first City Hall offices were located in the former SOC offices in the Golden Cove Center at the corner of Hawthorne Boulevard and Palos Verdes Drive West. One of the first actions taken by the new City Council was to declare a building moratorium and to begin

work on the preparing the City’s General Plan. Today, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes remains committed to the vision of its founders to protect the rural nature of the city.

PUBLISHER’S MUSE
Our Home, South Bay. When we launched South Bay Digs in October of 2010, our mission was to celebrate what we feel is the strongest link in the “community chain,” – our homes. Our homes are the roots in the community tree, bringing neighbors, friends and family together to live, work and play. Nothing evokes the feeling of community like summer. As a kid, I used to count down the days to summer with great anticipation – it was always a special time of year. Some things never change.
“I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.” - G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936)
This issue is our Special Summer Edition, and it’s packed with the absolute best homes available for sale in the South Bay…104 pages worth! In the spirit of SUMMER, we take a historic LOOK BACK at the Palos Verdes Surfing Club. Started by several local surfers in 1935, Palos Verdes Surfing Club regularly met and surfed at the Cove, where they used an access road that took them down to the beach. Read all about it “Surfing into History” starting on page 44. Looking for what’s hot in the South Bay this summer? Check out our SUMMER FINDS starting on page 30 where we’ve spotlighted some of the things locals love best about enjoying our daily “staycations” over the summer months. On the COVER this issue is a luxurious Seaside Villa offered by Terranea Real Estate at the World Class Terranea Resort on the coast in Palos Verdes. Priced from $1.3 to $2.7 Million, the Seaside Villas & Casitas are a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own property in one of the absolute best locations in the World. See details on this page and visit www.TerraneaRealEstate.com.

Check out our new REVAMPED DIGS piece “A 1950’s tract home evolves into a classic beach retreat for a new generation” starting on page 61, where we take a look at a “before & after” project designed by Nuné Nitsiotis of Studio Synergy. FRESH BROTHERS, a local pizza joint that 1st opened in Manhattan Beach and has grown to serve a half a million orders in 2011, is this issue’s LOCAL NUGGET – read more on page 70. Finally, don’t miss this issue’s DIG THIS – “onebooktree – where one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Reclaimed woods work together to create one of a kind lifestyle products and furniture starting on page 76.

d e p m a V e R A 1960’S TRACT HOME EVOLVES INTO A CLASSIC BEACH RETREAT FOR A NEW GENERATION WRITTEN BY: DEANNA WHIPP
In the late 1940s, a housing shortage forced developers to search the open countryside for vacant land. Areas east of the beach in Manhattan, Redondo and parts of South and West Torrance were ripe for these new developments and many of those original homes still stand. Today, as new homebuyers settle into South Bay living, those original tract homes offer a much more affordable option for those seeking to set down roots in the beach community and the excellent public school systems, however most buyers moving into these older homes know there is work to be done to make them functional for today’s modern family.

Wonderful home in the Jefferson School District! Walking distance to Hermosa Beach and shopping/dining on Pier Ave.
This home was SOLD in just 8 days! I have buyers looking for equivalent properties. Call me if you are thinking of selling and I can bring you similar results.
I HAVE BUYERS!
David was highly recommended by a
family friend. Within weeks he found us a wonderful home, and with some careful negotiation we had an accepted offer below market value. Because it was a short sale, the loan and escrow process was more complicated than a standard sale. David was with us every step of the way working to make sure the sale closed. I cannot emphasize enough how important he was to getting the transaction closed timely. He was available night and day 7 days a week. In my business I deal with real estate problems and can recognize a good agent -- David is a great agent – we will use him again.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. That saying has never been more true than in the case of onebooktree and its founder and designer Devin Week. Finding a box of discarded books in 2009, Week turned the discovery into a book bench, which created the spark to expand on such an idea. “It started with a book and grew into a gold mine,” Week said. “From there, I started researching wood, metal and glass.” Week continues to work mostly with reclaimed wood he’s found in Los Angeles, creating everything from necklaces to dressers to beds. “With the material out there, it is fun to see different woods together and
“I love the start of each product and the design process,” Week said. “I love it being so open and finding what it is. It never ends open, but I love the idea of a blank sheet of paper.” Week has already envisioned a modular shelf and dresser system, bed frames and headboards. He’s also thought about lifestyle products like speakers, bike baskets and accessories. “Each piece is one of a kind,” Week said. “It might be the same design and size, but our wood ensemble is all different from one another, along with plastic and metal that go into a tree of materials that L.A. sources.”

Now, three years after starting the company, Week and his business partner Bobby Lauterjung have a clearer vision for onebooktree. They have decided to stop accepting new clients and will instead focus on the launch of a onebooktree collection. If all goes according to plan, Week would like to have it finished by 2013 with 16-20 pieces in the entire line. With nearly 20 sketch books full of thoughts and
ideas, the collection will include certain types of home decor and usable products.

TOTAL TRANSPARENC Y With the rates that we offer, there is nothing to hide. We provide our clients honest answers, sound advice and exclusive programs.
Recent Client Testimonial: Thank you Regan for the most expedient, accurate, and pleasant mortgage refinance I have ever experienced. I have been getting home loans and refi’s for over 40 years, and many were nightmares. In the beginning I was skeptical based on my past experience with other local lenders, that is why I was so amazed when we closed in just 10 days with no costs. I attribute your timeliness to your intelligence, knowledge, skill, and rapport you have with your immediate financial partners and associates. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to call me, e-mail me, answer my calls and return my calls regardless of what time it was or where you were at. I feel very fortunate to have found you and you can count on me for all my future home loans. Ron - Rancho Palos Verdes
Welcome to Watermark: Transparency and solutions are the foundation of my success, and I promise both to each and every client. While other lenders focus on feel good services, I focus on the financing. In an industry that hasn’t had a great reputation over the past few years, I take pride in knowing that I’ve gained the trust and respect of my clients. In today’s market the most important thing when obtaining a home loan is the mortgage professional you work with and the resources that they have at their disposal.
