Will Housing Prices Go Down in 2020 in Long Beach?

It really depends on the US Economy and how high the interest rates go.  When I started real estate in 1993, interest rates were at 14%.  And people were still buying homes and condos.  Interest rates are down and prices have gone in Long Beach in 2019. 

If you are thinking about buying a home and need a loan, please get pre-approved fully loan approved before viewing homes in person.  The sellers prefer that you are serious about buying.  They take the time to keep their home in “show ready” condition.  

If you are investing in a home with cash, awesome.  I need to show the seller and their listing agent proof.  Just a simple letter from your banker or financial adviser on their letter head stating that they have reviewed your financial position and can answer questions to verify your funds.  

 

Research: All numbers are research from the California Regional Multiple Listing Service and property records.  We do not use Zillow for a market value analysis.  They are just an advertising and marketing company.  I like the true market values verse a zestimate.
