How to Avoid Paying Too Much for Downtown Long Beach CA Condos

Of course, you don’t want to overpay for a condo or a home. So what do you do?  

Look at Zillow or Redfin for pricing? NO.  

Real estate agents and appraisers don’t go to advertising portals like Zillow, Trulia, or Realtor.com for pricing.

We rely on our local multiple listing service (MLS) and public records to determine market values just like appraisers do for banks to loan money.

When YOU fall in LOVE with a townhouse or condo or even a house, if I am your agent, then I will develop a market analysis of the TRUE value.  

You will see what previous home buyers bought condos at and is the market up or down.  I really like one chart that I pull.

It is called the Percentage of the Listed Price.  It will show you if properties are selling at 100% of the listed price which is a full price or above or below.

Then you know if the condos are selling for 98% of the listed value, you can offer at 97% and see if the seller will take it.  If I find out from the listing agent that he/she has multiple offers, then you would need to offer at full price or above to get it.  

Also, I will ask the listing agent in that situation what is the highest offer.  They are under no obligation to tell me.  They are under contract with the seller to not share pricing.  If they tell me, I will tell you.  I want you to get a good buy and be happy with it.  

This is a list of the most popular downtown condos with quick links to pages on our website for more information about each one.  The real estate search below shows you all of the properties for sale in 90802 zip code of Long Beach, California.
