The real estate market in Long Beach, CA is hot, hot, hot! In February 2022, we continued to see a trend of low inventory and as a result, an increase in home prices.
The months supply of inventory in Long Beach was only 0.9. This means that if homes stopped coming on the market completely we’d run out in less than a month. Talk about stiff competition. The median sales price of single-family homes was $900,000 and for condos, it was $562,500.
So what does this mean for you as a home buyer or home seller? If you’re a home buyer, you’ll need to find the real estate right team and be patient, persistent, and creative when it comes to making offers. Our team has strategies in place to help you make the most out of the current market conditions and get your offer accepted. As a seller, it means you’re in a very strong position with the opportunity to sell your home for top dollar.

Buyers
It’s imperative that you start your home search early and with experts by your side. Patience is key, as well as the understanding that the first house you like may not be the one you get.

The right real estate agent will be able to guide you through these situations and take away at least some of the stress that comes with buying a home.
Some buyers currently say they’re waiting to buy because they expect the market to crash and prices to come down. However, that’s not necessarily the case. Learn more in the video below.
