1,947 Rancho Homes Bank-Owned or in Foreclosure

Ila Josephs (Tarbell, Realtors) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:04:10 -0600

One out of 25 Rancho Cucamonga homes are either bank-owned, scheduled for auction, or in what mortgage companies call ‘pre-foreclosure" - meaning the homeowners are at least two months behind in payments, but still can get caught up, or modify their loan in some way to avoid foreclosure.

The year 2010 will bring great opportunities for investors, "move-up" home owners, and first-time buyers and daunting challenges for all of us, especially home owners struggling to stay afloat. .

The numbers of Rancho Cucamonga properties in trouble are startling: Throughout the city, there are 516 bank-owned homes, 686 in the final weeks before being sold at auction, and 745 homes in pre-foreclosure. Listed for sale throughout Rancho Cucamonga are 47 bank-owned homes and 159 short sales. (Short sales allow a home owner to sell the property before it is foreclosed; the lender accepts less than is owed.)

Lenders and the federal government have devised a variety of programs to stabilize home prices and allow those who can to find a solution that will keep underwater borrowers from defaulting on their loans. With loans written in 2005 due to re-set to higher interest rates in 2010, and high unemployment, keeping home prices from eroding further and pushing even more home owners underwater is essential.

We have devoted many hours this year to counseling home owners, both those who are struggling and those who have equity and want to move. We count among our successes Rancho Cucamonga owners who were able to modify their home loan early this year, when many lenders were still in denial and less willing to work out a solution. The satisfaction of knowing they are celebrating the coming holidays in their home, without fear, is priceless.

To help our clients, we constantly study the local home market, evaluate emerging lender and government programs to see how they will affect home owners and buyers, and strive to ensure that everyone we assist gets the very best service possible from us and everyone else involved.

Ila is one of the first Realtors in the region to obtain the new Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource certification from the National Association of Realtors. We know Knowledge is Power and we are determined to be powerful advocates for home owners and buyers.

If you know someone who may lose their home, please give them our telephone number. We are standing by, ready to assist. There's no charge and we may be able to help them find a solution without listing the home for sale.
