After A Big Jump In Pending Home Sales – Real Estate Slowed by Corona Virus Impacts
We saw a very impressive jump in the number of home going into escrow with both month over month numbers increasing dramatically in 2020. That seems to have changed quickly with the impacts of the Corona virus on the Lawndale housing market. While that’s not great news for home sellers, it certainly will present opportunties for home buyers in the area. Acoording to South Bay realtor and Lawndale specialist Keith Kyle, “it’s inevitable that the very hot market doesn’t slow down a bit as it becomes harder to get financing and buyers income situation’s become less clear”.
Take a look at the chart below to see the “active” listings each month along with pending sales (red line) and closed sales. The pending sales went up both January and February by quite a bit, but March saw the beginnings of the impact.
The Affordability of Homes in Lawndale CA

Home Values in El Camino Village versus the rest of Lawndale CA
The neighborhood of El Camino Village is small community encompassing a
pocket of both Lawndale and Gardena. Frankly speaking it’s somewhat made up but it has definitely made a difference when it comes to property values. Unlike some of the other nearby areas of Lawndale and Gardena, El Camino Village has a more neighborhood feel with mostly one story single family homes on nice tree lined streets. There are only a very limited number of apartment buildings, duplexes, commercial etc. giving it a very upscale feel. See the current homes for sale in El Camino Village.
