Newport Beach REO home buyers usually face the challenge of competing with multiple offers on the properties. Also, Newport Beach REO home buyers are competing with cash buyers as well.

Bayshores in Newport Beach

Newport Beach currently has an inventory of REO or bank owned homes. Currently there are eight active listings, 3 in back up status, 5 in pending status, and 2 sales.

Comparison from prior month is below.

Listings are up +3 since April, 2012
Back Up is  is down -2 since April, 2012
Pending is the same since April, 2012
Sold properties are down -2 from April, 2012

Sales have declined by two per month for the last two months.

There is a low absorption rate  of the REO property  of approximately one to two months over the past one year. These properties move quickly as buyer’s perceive them as the best deal. Keep in mind when buying an REO property – they are purchased “as is”.  Keep in mind banks will want fair market value and go to great lengths to obtain that value, including obtaining several BPO (broker price opinions) and appraisals.

The REO market sure has shifted and has become very competitive.

Good luck and success.

Sharon - If a buyer wants a REO property in Newport Beach I hope they are working with you.  Local market knowledge is the key to getting the right place at the right price and knowing what to do when they are multiple offers.  Great post!

We are seeing the same general scenario here, although there are fewer REOs than in the past so more of the competitive bidding and cash buying is for short sales. And other homes as well.
