As I have said in the past, foreclosures cross all cities and neighborhoods.  In Benicia as of 7/21/08 Multiple Listing Service (Bay Area Real Estate Information Service), we have 150 homes listed for sale.  Of those homes, 26 are foreclosures also known as "bank owned".

Prices range from a low of $149,900 to a high of $524,900.  We have seen some very high end homes come on the market that sold for close to $1,000,000 in 2005, become bank owned and resell for $600,000-$700,00.  All the upgrades that anyone would dream of having and close to award winning schools.  There is a style, location, and price for most everyone!

Benicia is wonderful city situated on the Carquinez Straits.  You see water everywhere and can watch the ships go chugging by.  The sail boats scurry on windy days across the choppy waters.  Fun activities fill our summer weekends.

Don't miss the Jazz and Art Festival this weekend July 26th and 27th.  What a great place to hang your hat and buy a great home at some fantastic prices!!
