Click the graphic above for the latest market info. It's time once again for the Thursday market update for the Cliff May Ranchos neighborhood in Long Beach. The Ranchos is a mid-century modern ranch house neighborhood, located on the eastside of Long Beach. It is centrally located and provides easy access to Orange County, the South Bay, and central Los Angeles. It has been a few weeks since I ran this update, and there have been a few changes. If you are interested in looking at any of these homes, or have any questions about these homes, please call my cell or e-mail me. First of all we have some price changes. 3230 Stevely is now reduced to $610,000. It originally came on the market in January for $669,000. Don't get your calculator out, I'll do the math for you; it is about 91% of...

Click the graphic above for the MLS listings, or if you have any questions e-mail: evan.gould@homes4hipsters.com . Looks like it is time for another Cliff May Ranchos market update. As a refresher, this mid-century modern neighborhood is located on the Eastside of Long Beach, near the corner of Spring and Studebaker, across from El Dorado Park. Lots of great '50's era mid-century houses with open floorplans and huge patios to take advantage of California sunshine. New to the market this week is 7219 Lanai Ave. Remodeled in 2006, this 5 bed, 3 bath home has been expanded from the original 1,268 square feet. It is now a two story home in about 2,800 square feet. Along with the extra square footage, the home boasts travertine floors, and elaborate wrought iron details throughout. This hom...

Click the graphic above for the latest market info. Wow! Busy week so I am a little late with the Cliff May Ranchos market update. And it appears that some other Realtors were busy putting 3025 Roxanne, Long Beach into escrow. As you may remember, that home is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home in pretty original condition. The landscaping was old-fashioned, and the kitchen needs to be blown up, and rebuilt from scratch. It will be interesting to find the final sales price of this home. Of course, you can always check back here for current sales data, or e-mail evan.gould@homes4hipsters.com with any questions!

Click the graphic above for the latest market update! Not much movement in the Cliff May Long Beach market this week. To begin, the listing at 3150 Pattiz expired. Originally listed way back in August 2008 for $629,900, this home experienced a couple of price reductions, and finally exited the market a week ago @ $599,900. The home last sold in June 2006 for $640,000. The market giveth, and the market taketh away. What a cruel god these market forces! It may still be in escrow, but the MLS listing shows it as expired. The other action this week is the home at 3225 Roxanne which was pending sale in December, is now back on the market at $580,000 and looking fabulous... not! Just took a swing through this one and it is torn up. The garage has been divided and a rec room now occupies the ...

                                                             A favorite area of Long Beach is "the Ranchos", a neighborhood of houses developed and built by Cliff May.Built when the California ranch style home was really coming into style, these economical houses were the "tract home" version of the newly popular ranch style. They commonly feature interior courtyards and open floor plans, which are two of the reasons they are still so popular. Updated homes have improved cooling and insulation, but the overall characteristics of well lit rooms, open kitchens and living rooms, and large sliding glass doors to the outdoors, are what popularized the "Southern California lifestyle' of the post-World War II era.Current listings are in the range of $515,000 to $649,000 (this is down more than...

Click the graphic for the latest Cliff May Ranchos action! New to the Cliff May Ranchos market this week is 3024 Kallin Ave. This 4 bedroom (3+ a den), 1.75 bath home is listed for $615,000. I haven't been inside this one yet, but from the photos, it looks like there have been some nice upgrades. New Euro-style kitchen cabinets, breakfast bar, built in storage and work spaces, and modern tile and fixtures. It is direct competitiion with the home on Studebaker ($539,250) in lot size and square footage. So with upgrades and a better location, it may be priced pretty well. The other movement in the Ranchos is 3120 Karen Ave has gone into escrow after only a week on the market, listed at $649,000. Check back here for the final sales price.
