Will Housing Prices Go Down in 2019 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. I just spoke to my lender and his rates for the day are at 4.25% for financing.
