Last month homes in Long Beach sold on average for 100.6% of the original listing price. That’s a stunning number indicating the continued strength of the current seller’s market. The average sales price was $942,772 – a 25.4% increase from this time last year. In neighboring Lakewood, the numbers are similar for the selling price (selling at 103.1% of asking) but the most shocking number is the average days on market. On average, homes in Lakewood are lasting just 9 days on the market! That’s down 66.7% since this time last year! In Signal Hill, homes last slightly longer (11 days) but that’s down from 108 days last year – 89.8%!
What do these numbers mean?
If you’re a potential seller you are in the driver’s seat. Sellers currently have the ability to command top dollar and close quickly. There are a number of buyers in the market but not enough homes for them to purchase. Bidding wars are common leading to even higher selling prices. If you’ve ever considered selling your home, now may be the right time.
