History of Long Beach CA

This area was established by William E. Willmore in 1882 as Willmore City. When Mr. Willmore´s plan to develop the city into a farming community failed, the land was purchased by the Long Beach Land and Water Company. They changed the name to Long Beach and it was incorporated as a city in 1888. The city grew as a waterfront resort, but its main growth occurred after oil was discovered in 1921. It was once known as ˜Iowa by the Sea" because of the large number of Midwesterners from Iowa and other states who relocated here. Read More About the Citys Historic Homes and Districts>>>>>>>

Light and airy Belmont Heights Condo is a front corner upper unit with a nice open floor plan, hardwood floors and a wide expanse of windows to enjoy peek-a-boo ocean views and sultry ocean breezes.

Located within a short walk of Belmont Shore shops and restaurants this lovely Long Beach condo is just 2 short blocks to the sand and the Belmont Pier. Walk over to the Belmont Brewing Company for a great sunset dinner or to La Palapa for dinner and light entertainment. Head into the very trendy Belmont Shore for shopping, entertainment and the many great restaurants on Second Street or walk up to Broadway for a fantabulous java fix at the Library Café, it's all just a short walk from home. Not in the mood to go out? Swing by the nearby newly renovated Vons supermarket and pick up fixings to barbeque on the patio for a nice quiet dinner at home.

None of the other owners use the large upper deck adjacent to this condo at this time, so it is like having your own.

Just a couple of short blocks to the beach; walk down to enjoy one of our beautiful sunsets, take a walk on the beach, or bike into Downtown Long Beach on the bike path.

This complex is comprised of 8 condominium units, built in the 1950's retro style, these units are very appealing. Most have separate entrances and are quite private from each other.

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.
