<p style="text-align: center">
<p><span style="font-size: small"><a title="About Long Beach California - Long Beach Real Estate" href="http://www.longbeachrealestatehome.com/long-beach-california">Long Beac</a><a title="About Long Beach California - Long Beach Real Estate" href="http://www.longbeachrealestatehome.com/long-beach-california">h California</a> is home to the West Coasts most affordable beach real estate.  Set in sunny Southern California we enjoy moderate temperatures year round, sweet ocean breezes and a resort atmosphere.  With our purchase prices so reasonable is it any wonder snowbirds are flocking here?  <a href="http://www.palm-desert.org/">Palm Desert</a>, 2 hours inland, is fantastic, but nothing compares to luxury oceanfront property and the beach is just more fun! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">Long Beach has an endless array of entertainment to suit any lifestyle or age from water-sports to nightlife, theater and fine dining.  This is the perfect place to do everything, do nothing or to just <a title="Long Beach California - Go Fly a Kite - Belmont Shore Oceanfront" href="http://www.lauriemanny.com/go-fly-a-kite-long-beach-california">go fly a kite</a>! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">Yes we have golf courses!  Long Beach is centrally located making access to all <a href="http://www.longbeachrealestatehome.com/the-golf-courses-of-long-beach-california">Southern California golf courses</a> just a short drive. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">Long Beach is conveniently located just 20 minutes south of <a href="http://www.lawa.org/lax/">Los Angeles International Airport (LAX),</a> 20 minutes north of <a href="http://www.ocair.com/">John Wayne Airport (SNA)</a> in <a href="http://www.cityofirvine.org/">Irvine</a>, and home to our own <a href="http://www.longbeach.gov/airport/">Long Beach Airport</a> &#8211; which we love.  We are also just a 20 minute drive into <a href="http://www.downtownla.com/">Downtown Los Angeles</a> &#8211; in case you were thinking about catching a <a href="http://www.nba.com/lakers/">Lakers</a> game; attending a concert at the fabulous <a href="http://www.staplescenter.com/">Staples Center</a> or a performance at our beautiful <a href="http://www.musiccenter.org/">Music Center</a>.  Fantabulous and incomparable, 8 time Grammy award winner, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tina_Turner">Tina Turner</a><br />

<p><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">Did I say we were centrally located?  A 2 hour drive north will find you in beautiful <a href="http://www.santabarbara.com/">Santa Barbara</a>.  Head north just a little further and enjoy a day, or a romantic weekend, in <a href="http://www.sbcountywines.com/">wine country</a>.  A leisurely drive south will take you into lovely <a href="http://www.sandiego.org/nav/Visitors">San Diego</a>.  Catch a <a href="http://sandiego.padres.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=sd">Padres</a> game or spend a day at the <a href="http://www.sandiegozoo.org/">San Diego Zoo</a> or perhaps <a href="http://www.seaworld.com/">SeaWorld</a> with the family then head into the <a href="http://www.downtownsandiego.org/">Downtown San Diego</a> gaslight district for a delicious dinner and some relaxing down time. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><a title="Huntington Beach California - Surf City" href="http://www.surfline.com/surf-report/hb-pier-southside-southern-california_4874/">Surfer?</a> 10 minutes to surf city &#8211; <a title="Huntington Beach California - Surf City" href="http://www.ci.huntington-beach.ca.us/">Huntington Beach</a>, where you will catch some of the finest waves on the west coast. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">Long Beach is slated to become the new home of the largest movie studio in California.  A deal has been struck to take over the Boeing facility near the Long Beach airport. This will infuse new life into Long Beach and will certainly attract celebrities to our lovely waterfront homes and high rise condominiums.  How could they resist?  You never know who your new neighbor may be! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">Did you know that Hollywood got its start in Long Beach?  Long Beach was known as the motion picture capital of the world until post World War I when Hollywood developed around the glitz of the era.  With its perfect Southern California climate, Long Beach afforded the perfect setting for the industry.  There were eight film houses, two stock companies,  roller-coasters and bath houses at the historic Pike, along the shore of Downtown Long Beach.  This was the home of the Balboa Amusement Production Company, the  world&#8217;s most prolific silent-film studio.  W. C. Fields and other stars lived in beautiful mansions in the <a title="Bluff Park Historic Neighborhood of Long Beach California" href="http://www.lauriemanny.com/real-estate/Bluff-Park">Bluff Park neighborhood</a> along Ocean Boulevard and First Street, many of which remain in the families to this day.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">Speaking of <a title="Historic Districts of Long Beach California" href="http://www.longbeachrealestatehome.com/long-beach-ca-historic-homes-and-districts">historic districts, Long Beach has 17 of them</a>, <a title="California Heights Historic District - Long Beach California Real Estate" href="http://www.lauriemanny.com/real-estate/California-Heights-Historic-District-and-Neighborhood">California Heights</a> being the largest.  We love our historic homes here.  You can find out more about the <a title="History of Long Beach California - Long Beach Real Estate-Downtown Long Beach Condos" href="http://www.longbeachrealestatehome.com/history-of-long-beach">history of Long Beach</a> here as well. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">Redevelopment in <a title="Alamitos Beach Neighborhood of Long Beach California" href="http://www.lauriemanny.com/real-estate/Alamitos-Beach">Alamitos Beach</a> and the bustling <a title="Downtown Long Beach California" href="http://www.longbeachrealestatehome.com/downtown-long-beach-ca-incredible">Downtown Long Beach</a> communities has birthed fabulous luxury high rise condominiums with endless ocean views, <a title="Downtown Long Beach Lofts" href="http://www.longbeachrealestatehome.com/downtown-long-beach-loft-living-its-a-lifestyle">Manhattan style lofts</a> and many fabulous new dining opportunities. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">The luxury home market is generally a cash market.  Brian Brady&#8217;s <a title="Long Beach Real Estate 2009 Market Outlook" href="http://www.longbeachrealestatehome.com/long-beach-2009-real-estate-market-outlook">2009 Real Estate Market outlook</a> predicts that disappearing jobs and financing will likely drive the price of luxury properties down in our waterfront and higher end communities.  While that is tragic for the owners of these Long Beach properties it is an incredible opportunity to <a title="Search the entire Southern California MLS" href="http://www.longbeachrealestatehome.com/custom/mlswizard">purchase the Long Beach home, condo or vacation property</a> you, the buyer has been waiting for. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">The Long Beach real estate market has gone through several tumultuous years, this winter is certain to be a difficult time for sellers of Long Beach luxury homes, condos and income properties.  FHA loan limits, currently capping at $729,750 for single family home purchases are slated to be decreased to around $625,000 on January 1, 2009.  Decreasing buyer purchasing power is certain to affect prices in the mid-market range of $700,000 to about $1,000,000.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">What does this mean for sellers?  If you are planning on selling, you should plan on closing your escrow before the end of the year and should price it to do so. It would be our pleasure to provide a <a title="Get your Long Beach homes value" href="http://www.longbeachrealestatehome.com/custom/valuewizard">home value assessment</a>.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">What does this mean for buyers?  This is an incredible opportunity to purchase your new home at an incredible price. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">International buyers are flocking to the United States to purchase real estate at our current depressed prices, there is limited financing for foreign nationals, most are purchasing with all cash.  Long Beach prices have become very attractive to these buyers. You can start your <a title="Search the entire Southern California MLS" href="http://www.longbeachrealestatehome.com/custom/mlswizard">search for Long Beach homes</a> here.  VIP service is provided with the ability to set up custom searches with an automatic email alert system.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">If you are interested in purchasing a Long Beach luxury oceanfront home or a high rise luxury waterfront condominium, this winter is the time to make that purchase. It would be our pleasure to assist you. </span></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: medium">Long Beach Real Estate Sales-Market Update: October 5, 2008</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><span style="font-size: small">Through September 30 2008</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><a title="Permanent link to 'California Heights Historic District Homes 2008 Market Report - Long Beach Homes Sales'" href="http://www.lauriemanny.com/california-heights-historic-district-homes-2008-market-report-long-beach-homes-sales"><br />
</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: small">The <strong>Long Beach real estate</strong> market closes sales for the month of September with the average purchase price down 16% from year end 2007.  The average sold price of <strong>residential real estate in <a title="About Long Beach California - Long Beach Real Estate" href="http://www.longbeachrealestatehome.com/long-beach-california">Long Beach</a></strong> for year end 2007 was $543,770, end September finds the average sale price of residential at $454,208 with a small increase in the number of days on market; that is a decrease in average sale price of $89,562, which is substantial. The volume of <strong>Long Beach home and condo sales</strong> has dropped this month after steady growth throughout the year. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p><span style="font-size: medium"><strong>1/1/2008 thru 9/30/2008</strong></span></p>

</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: small">The government bailout, meant to stimulate the economy and <strong>real estate market</strong>, seems to have had an opposite effect across most of our nation. Prices are down to a very affordable level, interest rates have remained low, loans are still available and there is plenty of inventory to choose from.  100% financing and most government assisted down payment plans have dried up, stated loans are toast as well, the FHA is offering loans with 3.5% down payment at very reasonable interest rates (if you qualify), which is very reasonable &#8211; its really not a bad time to buy.  Ask the wealthy why they are out buying 2nd, 3rd and 4th homes; vacation homes are selling- they are a good investment right now.  They are buying because it is smart to buy low and sell high.<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: small">Today I spent time reading on one of my favorite national real estate social networks.  Fellow <a title="Atlanta Realtor, Jim Crawford" href="http://www.atlantabesthomes.com/">Atlanta Realtor, Jim Crawford</a> asked the question <a title="Has Your Market Slowed to a Crawl or Died?" href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/722425/Has-Your-Market-Slowed">&#8220;Has your market slowed to a crawl or died?&#8221;</a> Realtors from across the nation have steadily been reporting in with the skinny from their real estate markets.  In a nutshell, the impending bailout, the actual bailout and the impending election seem to have buyers frozen in place for the last several weeks.  Fear seems to be ruling the day. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: small">Waterfront and ocean close <strong>homes and condos in Long Beach</strong> are experiencing average sale price of about $635,000, 88 DOM, for 2008 thru end of September, with approximately 350 closed sales.  Compared to 2007&#8217;s </span><span style="font-size: small">average sale price of $665,155, 74 DOM, about 650 closed sales for the year. </span><span style="font-size: small">While these highly desirable <strong>Long Beach homes and condos</strong> are selling well above the average for our city, they are down, although prices are holding near the beach a lot better than they are further inland. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: small">We try to keep our <strong>Long Beach neighborhood real estate market reports</strong> updated monthly or bi-monthly, as time will allow.  These are a great resource for buyers and sellers of <strong>Long Beach properties,</strong> and contain valuable statistics to better assist in your real estate decisions.  We know those decisions are important ones and want you to have the most current information at your fingertips.  If the information you require cannot be found here, please do not hesitate to ask.<br />

</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: small">Potential buyers are shopping and are looking for a great deal.  Today&#8217;s buyer wants to see a lot of properties before making a final decision.  Often the very deal they are seeking will come across early in their search.  Reluctant to write an offer until they assure themselves that they have acquired the very best deal available on the market, they are hesitating too often and losing that deal only to find there isn&#8217;t another on par with it available.  Many Long Beach buyers give up their home search disillusioned at what their dollar will actually purchase. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">Personally I blame the media and the bubble bloggers.  Many buyers have an unrealistic idea of what their money will actually buy.  $300,000 will not buy a home that is worth $500,000, it never did.  What is available in the $300,000 range are mostly bank foreclosures and the homes mostly need work.  It is unrealistic to expect to find a completely remodeled, turnkey home available in that price range foreclosure or otherwise.  Does it happen?  Yes, rarely.  So 100 buyers sitting on the sidelines waiting for that 1 home to come available and when it does they don&#8217;t want to offer more than the asking price, they are usually working with a 3.5% FHA down payment and in sweeps an investor with all cash who closes the deal in 10 days.  Most of today&#8217;s buyers are unequipped financially to handle the upgrades and repairs necessary on foreclosed homes, which can be substantial; that is why the bank is selling them in AS IS condition.  Lets keep in mind that $300,00 for <strong>homes in Long Beach</strong> is really a great price when they are available.<br />

If (in my opinion, may be the case) some listings of lofts, co-ops and OYOs were input as condos, then they are reflected as condo sales here.  Often listing agents will represent these as condos in the MLS in order to stimulate traffic as many buyers agents will not look at the other categories.  As crazy as this sounds it is true and sales have occurred as a result of utilizing this tactic. Therefore the information in these categories is very likely not a true representation of the actual sales, but the grand total of these and the condo category would correctly reflect the total of all &#8211; as represented by the SoCalMLS.</span></td>

old saying, &#8220;If it sounds too good to be true&#8230;. It&#8217;s probably too good to be<br />
true!&#8221;&#160; </span></p>

</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">133 N The Promenade #405 in Downtown Long Beach Condo for<br />
Sale is a 1 bedroom, 3 bath, 2,461 sq ft Penthouse, with HOA dues of $604 and<br />
central air and heat which has been on the market for a short 10 days.&#160; This unit went on the market this time at<br />
$689,000 the price was changed the same day to $740,000.&#160; Yes, that is curious!&#160; This is a Short Sale believe it or not, built<br />
in 2007. City lights view.&#160;<br />
Hmmmmmmm&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..&#160; What? No ocean<br />
view for that price???&#160; Can you smell<br />
another foreclosure coming?&#160; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">While only on the market for an apparent short 10 days, this<br />
property was actually recently removed from the market to be put back on as<br />
new.&#160; Previously listed on 6/10/2008 for<br />
$950,000, reduced the same day to $789,999, then reduced to $740,000 on<br />
9/12/2008 and removed from the market the same day.&#160; </span></p>
