Who says homes never sell during the holidays?

This home in Chico, CA only had 27 days on the market, from list to close.

Thanks to a well-coordinated effort, both buyer and seller accomplished their goals.

The key ingredients to a successful transaction?

1. Seller lists property at or near market value in a declining market.

2. Buyer comes to the table prepared with a current prequalification letter.

3. Both Buying and Selling agents swiftly address concerns in the negotiation stage.

4. The lender is expedient and professional. (Special thanks to Corina Lemmus, Bank of America)

5. Realtors, lender, and title company work in concert to meet the needs of their clients.

Sandi -

Great experience. Congratulations. That is a time frame you don't see too often these days. Let's hope it becomes the rule more than exception in the coming year.

Joel- I have to agree, that is a time frame we don't see too often anymore. The lender did a fabulous job, especially when coordinating with an out-of-town REO title company. Just goes to show.... it CAN be done!

Nick- I don't actually believe things are starting to turn here yet. I can't speak for the rest of the west coast, but in Chico, the upper end home sales are definitely still a little suppressed. Lower end foreclosure sales can be highly competitive, but the prices aren't be driven up to unreasonable highs.

Merry Christmas :)
