My Riverside California "Best Buys" in Homes for Sale - February 11, 2009

By
Real Estate Agent with Pedersen Real Estate 01435175

Well, its that time again for my list of the "best buys" in Riverside California.  It was very discouraging tonight trying to come up with the list.  There are two things that will always keep a house off my "best buys" list - regardless of price.  Those two things are: houses must not be short sales, and the listing must have at least one photo.  

I went through almost 150 new listings and most of them were short sales and many did not have any photos.  Because of the huge number of listings with these two problems, my "best buy" list is very short this week.  Here goes:


4200 Estrada Dr. -  $120,000 - 1,170 sq ft
5308 Scott Ave - $139,000 - 1,141 sq ft
10353 Kenyon Ct. - $169,000 - 1,605 sq ft
 

I don't want any home buyers out there to get discouraged about buying a home in Riverside or Corona CA.  There are still lots of good houses and at good prices and the interest rates remain very low. Some of the best prices in the market right now are short sale homes.  I'm hearing that the number of short sales going through successfully is increasing.  I really hope that the banks are starting to work with  more short sale sellers.  

Please contact me if you are thinking of buying a home in Riverside CA or anywhere in the Inland Empire. Search the MLS for homes for sale.  Visit my website.  Pedersen Real Estate  DRE#01435175

Vicki, are these homes at that price or condo's/coop's?  Didn't think you can find a house for that price. 

WHat is your method of searching for these "best buys"?

Kat and Chuck,  It is surprising how much the prices of homes have decreased in Riverside County.  Hurting lots of folks and helping others who never thought they would be able to buy. 

Leah,  This homes are single family homes - no condos.  My method of searching is taking a little bit of time going through the MLS for the most recent listings, paying particular attention to price per square feet and apparent condition based on photos.
