Happy Holidays, Everyone!

It’s the end of the year show and we’re going to run down a list of people who have helped us to create success throughout 2010.

The Long Beach real estate numbers for the week ending December 19th: Active listings: Just under 1,200. Average listing price: $428,000. Total properties sold: 49. Lowest price: $84,000. Highest price: $949,000. Average Sell Price: $322,000. Days on market: 75.
