Properties are Selling in Long Beach 90803

The buyers have gotten in the Spring action mode in Long Beach's 90803 zip code--and for some buyers, there are issues of multiple offers in certain parts of Long Beach within days of the property coming on the market. This is a result of the combination effect of sellers pricing their property correctly, presenting it well (even staging it, that's been betting the fastest offers), and buyers who are pre-approved and motivated to buy.

In a quick review of the MLS, in the 90803 zip code (Naples, Belmont Heights, Belmont Shore areas), there are 101 active single family home listings waiting for a buyer, and there are 30 single family homes currently in escrow, list price between $425,900 (Island Village) to $3,350,000 on the water with a boat dock (Naples)--days on market ranged from "0" to "395".

In the same area are 54 condos waiting for a buyer, ranging from $189,000 to $1,095,000 in complexes such as Marina Pacifica, Village on the Green, Bixby Village, Spinnaker Cove, and in areas of Naples, Bluff Park, the Peninsula, and Belmont Heights. There are 19 condos in escrow, ranging up to $669,000 in asking price, having been on the market from 3 days up to 364 days.

For motivated sellers, believe it or not, we need more inventory. If you would like a market analysis of your home or income property, at no obligation, there's nothing to lose by talking over the current value of your home. I can even send you market comps via e-mail, plus other valuable market information.

Prices are still low, and motivated buyers should check out their financing options now.

Bixby Village: Your Next Home

The Bixby Village area began as a new development of over 350 homes and townhomes in the 1980's.

The single family homes that sit along the east side of the complex have golf course views. On the interior are the townhome groupings with tree-lined greenbelts and guest parking areas, entered from the interior roadways. This area is actually one of the few townhome developments in Long Beach and is well situated adjacent to CSU Long Beach, a major grocery chain store and shopping center, and other nearby shopping malls within several minutes' driving distance.

The townhome floorplans may be 2 or 3 bedrooms, and range between 1700 sq. ft. to over 2300 sq. ft. and include vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, formal dining areas, larger kitchens and patios for sitting or entertaining off the living room and dining areas, and attached 2-car garages. Some floorplans in both types of properties include a downstairs den or bedroom. Most bathrooms are still furnished with the original marble-style counters, large tubs and shower enclosures. The homeowner association includes a pool and clubhouse. The architecture is Cape Code style in several shades of blended exterior colors, ranging from warmer sand to cooler blue tones.

Single family homes are larger 3-bedroom plans, going up to over 2700 sq. ft.

Currently, there are 5 active listings in this development, 4 are single family homes ranging in asking price from $749,000 to $899,000; the townhome is currently listed at $665,000. Selling prices in the last 3 months for the townhomes (no SFR sales in that time) ranged from $580,000 to $665,000.

This complex is a great opportunity to live within a 5 minute drive of the beach and Belmont Shore, yet be close to the 405 freeway.
