Looking through the Long Beach MLS is a great way to get a good understanding of what is available. Often though there are properties that are not listed in the MLS that your local Long Beach real estate agent can help you to discover.
One of the best surprises of late has been the willingness of builders to work with customers. Often new builder inventory is not listed in the MLS. Understanding which builders do have inventory available and what incentives they are offering is key to helping you make your decision on which Long Beach property is right for you. As we have been around the city quite a bit this week (and in particular tracking some of the new developments) I thought it would be helpful to mention some of what is being offered out there:
- Temple Lofts - The Temple Lofts, located at 835 Locust Ave, are down to their final 9 units. With just 9 left they have been giving buyers $50,000 to use anyway they would like. This can entail reduction in price, closing cost credit, or even paying your HOA in advance. We have helped a number of clients move in here recently and they have just loved the building.
- Pacifica - This building, built by Lennar once had just a small sales office to sell out of. Looking at the 3D renderings of models was tough, but now they have the real deal available! They have staged units to look at and they are paying 2 years HOA (along with they have had a great price reduction from their initial offerings).
- AQUA - List prices can be tricky :). Although the builder is down to their remaining 34 units the prices seem a bit on wishful side. Don't let that stop you though. Going with your real estate agent has it's advantages. The sales staff is more than willing to work out a deal - everythign from a price reduction to upgrades. Ask to see what you can get!
Understanding the inventory from the traditional resales to the new construction in Long Beach will help you to find the right home. Financing options are many and the builders may even help lower your interest rate with a buy down. Have fun shopping using the Long Beach MLS and your Long Beach Realtor
