Bixby Knolls Real Estate Report for May 2008

We of course normally do these reports at the very beginning of the month or at the end but I thought we would go over what is happening today so everyone doesn't miss out on anything.

• Active Properties - 130 - All residential properties for sale
• In Escrow - 37 (Backup and Pending)
• Months Supply - 3.5

So what does this mean. Well as we have covered in the past under 6 months of supply of property is a "sellers market". We have a very low 3.5 months so is Bixby a sellers market? Well in some cases it is. There are some fantastic opportunities for condos and a few homes that are worth checking out. Take a look at through the FREE Long Beach MLS on the site to check current properties. Homes and condos that are priced under the last sales are getting multiple offers and selling within days not weeks or months. It does require sellers to be aggressive in their pricing and selling a home right now in Bixby Knolls may not be right for all sellers so make sure you know the actual value of what your home would sell for before you put it on the market.
