Shasta County market update for Feb 2007

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Apex California Realty

The inventory of homes remains in the 1550-1600 range with the market still favoring the buyers. Sellers are still willing to give some concessions on many properties and new homes are offering many more incentives than a year ago. We are seeing an increase in foreclosures as many people in the last year or two opted for creative financing to get them into their dream homes.

It is estimated that foreclosures will increase in abundance as Trillions of dollars of adjustable rate mortgages taken out in the last 3 years are currently adjusting upwards!

Remember that with foreclosures you have to have cash at the sale...all cash/Cashiers Check...no loan on foreclosures so that limits the bidding to investors and very serious home buyers that are in a great financial standing.

Foreclosures are a tricky thing and bidding on them is a risk so do your homework before you ever seriously consider them. They are "As-is" where is and sometimes have hidden attachments/liens that go with them!

Hi Richard,

Nice to see someone from Redding on here.  I grew up in Redding from 1960 to 1972.  ...Lived in the Buckeye area then lived on Riviera Drive then moved to Riverside Drive south of town.  I graduated from Shasta High in 72.  I now live in a wonderful community in Beaufort, South Carolina.  My best to you in your career.

Thanks Jon I appreciate the kind words. Redding is a great place as you know and have come a long way since 1972. We now have the Sundial Bridge, Turtle Bay park and a host of other things that have enriched this area and the options.

Best of luck to you also!
