Long Beach Condo Statistics

The inventory of condos for sale in Long Beach is also very low. With a 1.9 month supply of condos for sale, it’s slightly below October 2014 and 48.6% below it was this time last year.
Bottom Line
The low inventory of available houses and condos for sale in Long Beach makes this an excellent time to sell a home. Right now there are a number of buyers who want to take advantage of the low interest rates and few homes for them to choose from. Despite the holidays, this could be a good time to take advantage of the seller’s market.
