Many agents will cut and paste the daily numbers from someone else who has posted them without doing a in depth analysis This only gives you a snapshot, it's not giving you a true picture of what is happening in The Santa Clarita Valley market. I usually do a monthly break down of the bank owned listings vs. the short sale listings, this is my year in review. I have broke down the Santa Clarita Pre Foreclosure & Foreclosure Real Estate Market from January 2009 thru today January 13, 2010 with an in depth analysis. Is it better to buy a bank owned property or a short sale? Look at the numbers, you decide.

You may have noticed we have reached historic low levels of inventory the past several months here in the Santa Clarita Valley, as of today there are 660 active listings, when in a normal market we have anywhere from 1500-2000. with these number it's our opinion the government/banking institutions created a seller's market. They are taking advantage of a basic supply vs. demand market by cutting off the supply, releasing very few bank owned listings and taking extensive time to approve short sales they have slowed the decline of property values. You can clearly see that President Obama's pressure on the banking industry to streamline loan modifications and short sales is starting to take effect with some banks. If you look closely at my statistics you will see home prices have gone down but some areas are on the rise. It will be interesting to see how this year, 2010 will unfold. How much more will properties loose their values?Will interest rates stay below 5.5%? Will the market be flooded with bank owned properties? Will the banks be more cooperative with short sales, streamlining them? How much more will properties loose their values?
This is a constantly changing housing market, education is Key. As potential buyers or sellers these numbers help you to understand what the price ranges are for bank owned and short sale properties for sale. There is a big misconception when it comes to bank owned properties (foreclosures) and short sales (pre foreclosures). Many are led to believe that there is a fire sale going on, that the banks are giving deep discounts. Banks at this point are in the business to minimize their loss severity, they want to see offers as close to fair market value as possible. In some instances there are listings that are generating multiple offers which results in a higher sale price. Here is where an experienced agent can guide you with these purchases.
You as a buyer need an agent who truly understands this market and can help you get your desired home whether it is a bank owned or short sale listing. With so much information and misinformation you need an above average agent to guide you through these investment opportunities.

We feel that education is key in this market with so much misinformation and foreclosure scams out there, we sought out this education to ensure we could properly help Santa Clarita families get on the path to recovery.
There is a difference between a pre foreclosure and a foreclosure. The time period between the first missed payment and the final bank sale is called the pre foreclosure phase. Foreclosure is a legal process that is initiated whenever a homeowner defaults (stops making payments) on their mortgage(s). When the foreclosure is completed the home is either sold at auction or becomes real property of the lender and is now owned by the lender REO, Real Estate Owned. Many of you have heard these terms on the news lately or see these types of homes in your communities. Would like to know what these terms mean or understand how the short sale process works? Go to short sale, pre foreclosure definitions.
If you or someone you know are in a difficult situation with your property consider us. Homeowners who are in the pre foreclosure process need to speak with an educated agent as quickly as possible. For many homeowners foreclosure is not the only option however most do not get the opportunity to explore solutions. We are Santa Clarita's short sale specialists and would like opportunity to sit down with you and give you a free, no obligation, consultation on this process. We want to be the number one short sale agent you call, we are here to help you avoid foreclosure.
