The median price (same number above, same number below midpoint) lowered to $702,000 for a single family home in June, but this is well above December's $652,500. The average days on 
market was significantly lower than December's: 25 days in June, although the overall housing supply for Long Beach increased to 2 months' worth (still low, however).
The median price for a Long Beach condo in June was $398,000, average price $454,000--this varies greatly depending on size and neighborhood. The average days on market increased to 39 days in June, and the inventory has increased significantly to 3 months supply, about the same amount as last October.
In the last 30 days, 158 single family homes sold in Long Beach, most selling in 30 days or less, and all except 4 sold within 90 days, including the million plus homes. Most buyers are looking below $600,000, which means Wrigley, west side of Long Beach, some in California Heights and others in North Long Beach. Belmont Heights is typically not below $700,000 right now.
Lakewood single family median price dropped a little, but at $630,000 is still higher than 2019, but only 39 houses closed escrow in the last 30 days! Which means a serious inventory shortage in Lakewood, at 1.2 months supply!! So anyone who wants to sell in Lakewood now, it's time to consider!!! There are currently 91 in escrow, and only 30 active listings on the market there ($529000+ starting list price). So there should be a higher number of future closings, but there's opportunity to sellers with only 30 active on the market.
Cerritos: Only 20 houses closed escrow in the last 30 days. Sales price starts at $600,000. Currently there are 32 homes in escrow, and 17 active listings available, starting at $689,000 and up to $2.2 million.
No matter where we look, it's the same story, we need more listings, because there are buyers who want to buy.
The part of the market that is taking longer to sell is the over $1million market, with 256 homes on the market at an average of 137 days on the market for homes in Rossmoor, Long Beach, Lakewood, Cerritos, Signal Hill and Huntington Beach market. More are very recently coming on the market in the last few days, so if this is your price range, there's lots of opportunity here!!!
