Carlsbad,CA - Foreclosure Filings

Foreclosure Filings-Notice of Default filings are the first step in the foreclosure process. Notice of Trustee Sale filings set the date and time of an auction, and serve as the homeowner's final notice before sale.

Carlsbad,CA - Foreclosure Outcomes

Foreclosure Outcomes-After the filing of a Notice of Trustee Sale, there are only three possible outcomes. First, the sale can be Cancelled for reasons that include a successful loan modification or short sale, a filing error, or a legal requirement to re-file the notice after extended postponements. Alternatively, if the property is taken to sale, the bank will place the opening bid. If a 3rd party, typically an investor, bids more than the bank's opening bid, the property will be Sold to 3rd Party; if not, it will go Back to the Bank and become part of that bank's REO inventory.

Carlsbad,CA - Foreclosure Discounting

Foreclosure Discounting-This chart compares the winning Bid Amount of properties sold at trustee sale to both the outstanding Loan Amount, and the current Market Value. Banks place an Opening Bid for each property and if a 3rd Party does not make a higher bid, the property will be sold Back to Bank (REO) for the Opening Bid amount. Properties Sold to 3rd Parties will typically have Winning Bids with deeper discounts to both Loan Amount and Market Value as only low Opening Bids will attract investor interest.

Foreclosures scheduled for Auction:  We actually attend the Foreclosure auctions on a regular basis.  They are either held downtown San Diego on the courthouse steps or at the Courthouse in El Cajon.  These properties are ones that the lender was not able to work out a viable solution for the current homeowner by either refinancing them, modifying their loan, or facilitating a short sale.   In this case, they take them to the foreclosure auction to offer them up for sale to 3rd party investors.   There can be a lot of great deals to be had at these sales if you really do your homework and are diligent in your efforts.    Some important things to note about these sales:

• You have to pay cash on the spot if you are the winning bidder (Via Certified Cashiers Check)
• You can't buy Title Insurance, which protects you against any unknown or past liens
• The properties are sold in completely "as is" condition
• Many times the properties are still occupied by the current owners or tenant and it is up to the new buyer to handle the eviction process at this point
• Many times if the property is occupied before the foreclosure auction it is impossible to inspect these properties up front

These items listed above could really come back to haunt you if you don't thoroughly do your homework, however they also many times allow for great opportunities.   To learn more about upcoming foreclosure auctions, and to track upcoming foreclosures in Aviara and other San Diego County cities click here.

Bank Owned REO Homes for Sale:  This is an area in the current market place that I think can have tremendous opportunities for buyers.   These properties have gone through the foreclosure process and are now owned by the bank alone.   The banks traditionally don't like to own these homes because it ties up money that they could be using to lend.   Usually offers on bank owned homes for sale are responded to quickly and you don't have the time of waiting around for months to hear back like you do with short sales.   Here are some important bullet points about Bank Owned REO Homes for Sale:

• In most cases you can use traditional financing on these properties just like you would with buying a Resale or New Home.
• You can also inspect the property thoroughly up front and have appraisals, termite inspections, home inspections, etc, performed in advance before closing.
• You can buy title insurance.  Unlike with foreclosure auctions, Bank owned homes for sale allow you to protect yourself and buy the property with clean title.
• The last owner or tenants have already been evicted and the properties are vacant.
• The banks are motivated to sell.

I believe that in many cases bank owned REO Homes for Sale are just as good of a deal as Short Sales or Foreclosure Auctions.   It still comes back to your personal situation and your risk tolerance for what is right for you.   If you are looking at this as an investment, but its also a home that you and your family are going to live in, than I would suggest a bank owned REO home, a Resale home, or potentially even a short sale.   If you are a saavy investor, you don't plan on living in the home, and you have a higher risk tolerance, than maybe buying at the Foreclosure Auction is the solution for you.   Either way, we can help you make that decision easier for you.    To learn more about Bank Owned REO Homes for Sale and actually search available bank Owned Homes in Aviara, Carlsbad and other San Diego County Cities click here!

What is a Short Sale: Properties that are in default, meaning the current owner is at least 3 months behind on their mortgage or more.   Short sale's require the lender approve the sale if the amount the property is selling for is less than what is owed.   I recommend these to our clients when it is a property that they absolutely love and are willing to wait on.   Many times it can take 3 to 6 months to get the lender to approve a short sale, and even though its under contract between the buyer and the current seller, the lender can still say no in the end!  However, in many cases banks are now being incentivized by the government to approve short sales.  If it's a property that the buyer isn't that crazy about, they are probably not worth the time and effort.   However, sometimes waiting and being patient, can not only get you a great deal, but a great home that you love all in one.   To learn more about listed short sales and to search all available short sales in La Costa click here.    If you want to view unlisted short sales on a map click here.

Things to keep in Mind when considering a short sale.

• The lender usually won't pay for any necessary repairs before purchase
• They can take 3 to 6 months before approval
• Lenders usually won't pay for a home warranty
• Lenders in many cases won't pay for a termite report or any work to be performed
• Lenders in Some cases may ask the new buyer to pay HOA dues that are past due.
