📰 News we're reading
• Home Sales Volume Shrinking - (randomlengthsnews.com) — Rancho Palos Verdes homeowners on the PV Hill are seeing fewer sales but rising median prices, with August volume down and year-to-date sales still below pre-pandemic levels. The report ties local trends to higher mortgage rates, limited inventory, and lingering effects of ultra-low pandemic-era loans, outlining what residents can expect as rates climb further into September. 
• South Bay inks 41% of last week's luxe contract volume in LA County (therealdeal.com) — High-end home sales from Manhattan Beach through Rancho Palos Verdes drove 41 percent of Los Angeles County's luxury contract volume last week, with deals ranging up to $26 million. For Rancho Palos Verdes homeowners and buyers, the report signals an active, still-competitive luxury market even as overall county contract volume and deal counts have slipped from last year.
