No "Mansion Tax" in Long Beach, A City of Beautiful Homes

The City of Long Beach has many fine homes in the luxury category currently on the market. If you're looking for historic or a more contemporary style, water views or not, Long Beach has much to offer.

And, unlike the City of Los Angeles, there is no "mansion tax" (Measure ULA) such as the one effective April 1 which adds thousands of dollars in the form of a 4% transfer tax for sales above $5,000,000. According to this Los Angeles Time article, the market over $5,000,000 has slowed considerably since then, not generating the planned funds for housing for homelessness.

 

To search homes available as of May 5, 2023 over $2,000,000 in the area, look at these Long Beach opportunities to buy in Naples, Park Estates (listing designed by Lloyd Wright), Belmont Heights, Alamitos Heights, and Virginia Country Club.  For buyer representation, contact me on any property of interest.

In the Long Beach market in the last 6 months there were 21 sales of single family homes between $2,000,000 and $4,000,000, and currently, in the same price range, there are 27 single family homes in escrow or actively listed on the market.  Although properties in the past have sold well over $5,000,000, currently the market is under $5,000,000, a good opportunity for the luxury home buyer.
