Frequently Asked Questions of Trends
-
Will house prices go up in 2024 in Long Beach, California?
I think based on 2024 trends in pricing, housing prices in Long Beach will stabilize. There are some neighborhoods in the city of Los Angeles where prices have gone up by 5 to 6%. Long Beach home prices went up in 2023 by 1.90% citywide.
-
Is 2024 a good year to buy a house?
Yes. It is all about the interest rates. Please get “pre-approval under-written” for a loan. It works to your benefit in a multiple-offer situation because all you need is an appraisal at that point to get a loan. Other people who just got “pre-qualified or pre-approved” and have not filled out all of their paperwork can’t compete against your offer. After we submit an offer on your behalf, I will have your lender call the listing agent to seal the deal. Let’s meet and talk about details and strategies..
Here are two lenders to consider: Mary Shuck of Movement Mortgage at 562-388-4197; and Joel Gagarin of Union Bank at 714-651-3708. I know a lot of reliable lenders.
-
Is the housing market going to crash in Southern California?
I have a lot of clients and visitors to our website asking this question. The last crash of the market was in 2008 when the stock market crashed. At that time, home buyers were getting bad loans with false documents and were being laid off from their jobs due to the stock market crash. The combination caused foreclosures everywhere.
During the pandemic, there was a moratorium on foreclosures and we have not seen a lot of those. I expect housing prices in 2024 to continue to rise a little but stabilize. The way to track this is to subscribe to my YouTube channel where I create monthly statistics videos and local content which is a great way to follow Long Beach housing market predictions.
-
What is the best way to be the winning offer in a multiple-offer situation on a house?
I suggest reading my article “How My Clients Won in a Bidding War for a Downtown Long Beach Condo?” In the article, I talk about strategy.
-
Do you recommend searching for homes on Zillow Long Beach?
No. Zillow is an advertising and marketing company. They will sell your data. I have local data on RedWagonTeam.com about Long Beach neighborhoods, condominium communities, gated communities, and more local information for you.
Check out my Long Beach special features pages or lifestyle search to find the right house or condo for you quickly.
-
Why is Long Beach so expensive?
It’s all about supply and demand. We have a shortage of real estate listings currently for sale and that is causing prices to rise. I think Long Beach is still an affordable city compared to other beach cities like Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, and Newport Beach.
