Homeownership is a big step and in
most cases the purchase of your home will represent the single largest
investment of your life. It is in your best interest to have seperate representation when Is it really a Buyers Market in Long Beach? - Long Beach Real EstateIs it really a Buyer's Market in Long Beach? - Long Beach Real Estate
Is it really a buyer's market in Long Beach?
Well, that all depends on your price range and the Long Beach neighborhood you select to find your new home. There are many skeptics who say the bottom of the real estate market has not come yet. People who say prices are going to drop at least another 25% or more. They say, "Don't buy now! You are sure to lose!" First of all, when you purchase your Long Beach homes, you should consider them to be long term investments. Second, prices are at an all time low so keep in mind one of the most famous rules for buying real estate: Buy low and sell high! Whether you sell in two years or five, the fact remains you are buying low if you buy now. When you sell after the real estate market cycles up you will sell high. As a buyer specialist I have worked with many 1st time home buyers in Long Beach. What I have found to be the rule and not the exception is that it is an all out war to get homes in certain Long Beach neighborhoods in certain price ranges. That begs a question...Is it really a buyer's market? A buyers market indicates that all sellers are desperate and willing to take just about any amount thrown at them. Everyone thinks that as long as you have a loan, you can buy any house you want at the price you decide to pay. Well, I am here to tell you that is not the case. You have to be aggressive and you have to be serious about your offer on any Long Beach properties you truly wish to buy. There was a time in recent days where my clients were up against 17 other buyers to purchase one Long Beach home! While we did successfully procure the property for the buyer, the fact is it's just not that easy to get any home for sale in Long Beach. While it is true that in terms of price point and opportunity there has never been a better time to buy Long Beach homes or condos!! Take advantage of that, but be realistic about your expectations. You can get a wonderful deal and find a home that is just right for you but you have to be ready to dig into this market and kiss a few frogs before you find a prince, so to speak. Happy house hunting!

Long Beach California Real Estate Sales - December 2008 UpdateLong Beach California Real Estate Sales - December 2008 UpdateLong Beach California Real Estate Sales - December 2008 Update
Several years from now we will look back at this time in history and reminisce. Many people will be saying "I should have bought then".
Interest rates are at their lowest in 50 years, FHA loans are attainable with small down payments, prices are at their lowest in years. Buyers, 1st time buyers and investors are writing offers and purchasing homes. New inventory will be coming onto the market in January and the buyers are gearing up now to be out shopping as that happens. Buyer contacts are up dramatically the last couple of weeks, they are being approved by their lenders now in anticipation of shopping the new inventory, as it hits the market, in January. This is a golden opportunity for many to achieve home ownership.
While interest rates have dipped and created yet another incredible opportunity for some 1st time buyers to become homeowners, loan terms have become more stringent. I have witnessed the pain of several buyers who were looking for a while and decided to wait. They are no longer able to procure a loan and will have to remain in rent. Do you think they will have another opportunity to purchase? Maybe! In a few years when the market turns around lenders may lighten up on the terms and provide another opportunity, but then both prices and interest rates will likely be higher. Waiting did not work out for 100% buyers with less than stellar credit. Bank owned/foreclosure/REO properties in good condition are receiving multiple offers with the best offer often all cash from an investor who can close fast. The banks want to get these homes off of their books so they can reduce their inventory and turn it into cash, investors make that easy to do. This makes competition for 1st time buyers tough on the more desirable Long Beach homes and condos. 1st time buyers often find themselves losing bid after bid. There are several reasons for this.
You know that saying, "If it sounds too good to be true, it's usually too good to be true"? That is often true of the pricing in today's market. When a listing is priced there is usually a selling strategy attached to it. While we still have our fair share of sellers who have their properties overpriced, we are seeing more homes and condos in Long Beach entering the market at very attractive prices - priced to sell - at or below current market, sometimes as low as 30% below market. Once in a while a short sale will be priced at a ridiculously low price that has not been approved by the bank and likely will not be. Buyers and investors are competing heavily for these properties as they become available.
It is becoming more common to list Long Beach Homes and Condos below the anticipated sale price. The objective is to create buyer traffic and cause a multiple offer situation which will drive the price up to, or close to, the anticipated sale price and to shorten the days on market. In other words - to sell it fast. This has proven to be a very effective strategy for sellers.
It has never been more important to have an experienced and seasoned Long Beach Realtor represent you through these transactions. Your Realtor will advise you and suggest the best method of moving forward every step of the way.
