I hope you are all enjoying your Summer. School is out and now our Family is trying to find some fun ways to spend time together. We are going to the Laguna Pageant of the Masters which is an amazing experience done in Laguna Beach Juy thru August . You get to see people enact Masterpieces and even when you know it is people on the stage when you look at the Famous Paintings they look just like paintings. It is hard to believe! They are celebrating their 75th Anniversary. At the same time you can see the Sawdust Festial and the Art-A-Fair all great craft fairs showing off local artist. All of the local parks in Long Beach have wonderful concerts on Saturdays so you should check that out by going to the City of ong Beach website. There is lots of fun things to do this Summer! Enjoy!

What is Happening in the Long Beach's real estate market! In one word, lots of "Negotiating"! Interest rates are very attractive and though qualifying now is more stringent, Sellers are more motivated to help Buyers with their closing costs.

I just recently sold a property at The Lakes Condominiums in Long Beach and we negotiated quite a savings on the sales price as well as getting the seller to pay for most of the Buyer's closing costs. We have a great one bedroom unit in the Lakes which is a loft unit, and is one of the most popular floor plans there. It has a great location in the complex with a great water view of the Lake and Fountain and is one of the few one bedrooms with two parking spaces. It is a Great Buy at $274,900!

We are starting to see more REOs listed on our MLS and they are starting to get multiple offers. So I think we are starting to see Buyers realizing this is a good opportunity to buy. If you would like a list of REO emailed directly to you, just email me at bstrealtor@aol.com with your request, and I will set it up so they are emailed directly to you.
