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

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

• 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

La Costa California~ Whats the differences between, Short Sales, Bank Owned Foreclosures or Auctions?

 

Today’s Real Estate environment is overwhelming. Housing experts have different opinions regarding the market’s direction and how to find the good buys.

We have created a fully integrated Real Estate website which allows you to search various properties throughout San Diego County MLS, save properties, request showings, print fliers, track foreclosures, all for free.  We look forward to helping you find your next home.

Give us a call or visit us here.

Before jumping the gun and buying a foreclosure, short sale, or REO home, let’s review the differences to help you decide which direction is the most suitable for you.

Short sales

typically occur when a borrower’s home is worth less than what is owed to the property lender. In some cases, the lender may approve a short sale, allowing the property to sell for less than the amount owed.  In this case, the lender approves the short sale and takes less, and the borrower is no longer responsible to pay the loan. Sometimes, the lender requests the borrower to take back a loan to pay the deficient amount between what was owed and what the property sold for.  However, this scenario can often be avoided. The borrower can walk away and in return, the lender can sell the home and get their money out.

Foreclosures Scheduled for Auction        

                                                                                              

We regularly attend the Foreclosure auctions, held in either downtown San Diego on the courthouse steps or at the Courthouse in El Cajon.  For these properties, the lender was unable to produce a viable solution for the homeowner through refinancing, loan modification or facilitate a short sale. In this case, they take them to the foreclosure auction and offer them up for sale to 3rd party investors.  Some things to note about these sales:

• 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
• properties are sold "as is" condition
• many times the properties are occupied by the current owners or tenant and it is up to the new buyer to handle the eviction process
• if the property is occupied before the foreclosure auction, it is impossible to inspect these properties up front

Bank Owned REO Homes for Sale  

                                                                                                       

These properties have gone through the foreclosure process and are now bank-owned.  Banks don't like to own homes because it ties up money they could lending.  Usually, offers on bank-owned homes get quick responses.  You don't have to wait for months to hear back like you do with short sales. Consider the following:

• in most cases, you can use traditional financing on these properties just like you would with buying a Resale or New Home
• you can inspect the property thoroughly and have appraisals, termite inspections and home inspections performed before closing
• bank-owned homes for sale allow you to buy title insurance
• properties are vacant
• banks are motivated to sell

Many times, bank-owned REO Homes for Sale are just as good of a deal as Short Sales or Foreclosure Auctions.  It depends on your personal needs and we can help you decide.

La Costa - Carlsbad Homes for Sale - La Costa Foreclosures

When we look at the current Real Estate environment it can be overwhelming with all the headlines in the news.  Everyone has a different opinion of where the good deals are and how to find them or where the economy or housing market is headed.

We have clients call us all the time wanting to buy foreclosures, short sales, or REO's because they think the thought of them automatically sound like a good buy!    However, is this true?   Lets first have an understanding of what they are and the differences of each.   This will hopefully help determine which approach is the best for you and your situation.

Foreclosures and Short Sales can be great buys if you know how to find them and how the process of buying them works.

Short Sales: Are 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!   If its 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 short sales and to search all available shortsales in La Costa, Carlsbad click here.

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 La Costa, Carlsbad 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 La Costa, Carlsbad and other San Diego County Cities click here!

We have put together a fully integrated Real Estate website which will allow you to search all of these properties that we have talked about above, all in one place.   You can search properties throughout the entire San Diego County MLS, save properties, request showings, print fliers, track foreclosures, etc, all for free.   All we ask in return is the opportunitiy to be of service to you or someone you know in helping them find their next home.   Give us a call or visit us here.

Hello and Welcome to La Costa Carlsbad, California Free Foreclosure Auction Search, Bank Owned REO, Short Sales, and Homes for Sale.

November 10th, 2009

Understanding the foreclosure property auction (also known as Trustee Sale) process takes time, due diligence, and understanding.  Saavy Real Estate investors can find some of the best deals around buying at these auctions, but is it right for everyone?   We would like to help explain further about these auctions and the benefits and downsides of buying Real Estate at them.

Here are some of the latest statistics from Foreclosure Radar hot off the press for September 2009.  If you are unfamiliar with some of the following terms please read below for further explanations.

• Notice of Defaults for California rose by 1.08% to 37,417 filings.
• Notice of Trustee Sale dropped by 5.10% from August to 32,457 filings.
• A total of 13,123 foreclosures were taken to Sale at auction.
• The opening bids set by lenders were an average of 33.9 percent lower than the loan balance, with 46% of sales being discounted of 50% or more.
• Nearly 91 percent of foreclosure sales in September were for loans that were made between January 2005 and December 2007.
• In the month of June San Diego had 2,769 Notice of Default Filings, 2,520Notice of Sale filings, and 290 sales to 3rd parties.

Understanding the overall process is the key, and here is how the process goes as an overview:

Pre-Foreclosure (Also known as Notice of Default).  Pre-Foreclosure is usually when the current homeowner is 90 days past due on their Mortgage.  Under the new California Foreclosure moratorium lenders have an extra 90 days in which they are supposed to aggresively pursue loan modifications with those current home owners who qualify.  The current lender files with the County Recorders office a Notice of Default.  When this is filed, this information becomes a matter of public record.  When this notice is filed the lender usually gives the homeowner 90 days to come current on the amount they are past due.  During this period a good amount of homeowners lately have been trying to obtain new financing terms by doing a Loan Modification with their current lender or a Short Sale with a Realtor if they know they aren't going to be able to keep up the payments due to hardship.  Both of these options often times delay the foreclosure process as the bank looks to work with the current owner to see if one of these options may be a fit.  To learn more about Pre-Foreclosures in La Costa Carlsbad and actually search all Pre-Foreclosures in La Costa Carlsbad for free click the yellow map.

Foreclosure Sale (Also known as Notice of Trustee Sale).  The Foreclosure sale usally occurs and is scheduled roughly 90 days after the Notice of Default is issues.  Although, these days this process is delayed most of the time.  Notice of Trustee sale usally takes place on the courthouse steps in the County in which the property is located.  In this area, most auctions take place in Downtown, San Diego.  Properties are sold as is, without any warranties or guarantees, and they must be paid for on the spot with a certified cashiers check.  Many times the buyer of that foreclosure property has to end up evicting the current homeowner or tenant and this sometimes can be a process.   However, even though its a riskier process, the reward can be great.  To learn more about Foreclosure Sales In La Costa Carlsbad and Search upcoming properties scheduled for Foreclosure click the yellow map below.

 

Bank Owned (REO).  Bank owned properties are the properties that have gone through the two steps above and didn't sell at the Foreclosure Sale.  In this case, the current lender has to take them back if there are no acceptable bids.  This can also be a great option for an investor because in a lot of cases, the lender does not want to own these properties.  These can be great deals for an investor, you can also research these properties in greater detail than Foreclosure Auctions, and most all of the time you can use financing and obtain a home warranty with these.  To learn more about Bank Owned REO listings in La Costa Carlsbad and search all available inventory click the yellow map below.

 

Re-Sale Properties.  Many people think Re Sale properties are not a great deal with all the Foreclosure properties out there.  This is actually not true in many cases.  Re Sales have to be priced aggresively and in line with Foreclosures if they want to have a chance of selling in todays market.  In a lot of cases a buyer or investor can buy a re sale that has been taken good care of, that doesn't have much fix up to perform, and is very close in price to that of a Foreclosure that might require a lot of work.  Sometimes people think that because they are buying a Foreclosure at 20% below market value that its always a steal, however sometimes there is 20% worth of rehabilitation to get the property back to standards that actually makes it the same deal as a re-sale.   This makes Re Sales a great option as well.  To learn more about Re Sale Homes for Sale in La Costa Carlsbad and search available inventory click the yellow map below.

Hello and Welcome.  La Costa~Carlsbad California~Sell my Home~ List my Home ~ Realtors~ Listings Agents.

Are you looking to potentially Sell or list your home in ~La Costa~ Carlsbad California in this market?   Here are some imporant points to think of when looking for the right listing agent or Real Estate company in this market.  Most the time the reason a home will sell quickly is marketing over price.   Having the right marketing strategy to sell your home quickly and for top price is crucial these days.

It is of the utmost importance these days to find a Realtor with a solid internet strategy.  According to many studies, close to 80% of people start their next Home purchase search online.   This means it is very important to have a listing agent that has a very strong internet marketing strategy to sell your home.  Most listing agents have no idea how to aggresively pursue a strong internet marketing campaign.  We score on the first page of Google for many categories and seach terms.  If many potential buyers can easily find your home online, the chances of them coming to see it are much greater!  To learn more us, our company, and our website click here.  We also syndicate our listings on many of the top Real Estate sites such as Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com, Craigslist, Sandicor, Popular blogs, etc, to get the maximum amount of exposure to sell your home quickly and for top dollar..

It is important to find a Realtor to List your home who personally or who's company personally works with many active buyers.   Working with active buyers is a very important step in this market.  In a good economy, Realtor's can take listings, put them on the MLS, type of a few flyers and sit back and wait people to bring them offers.   Many Realtors are strictly listing agents and don't actively look for buyers on their own.   They just try to price it so aggresively that it will get a lot of activity, but a solid marketing campaign along with working with active buyers can help get you a much higher return when selling your home.   At Four Seasons Realty we are currently working with several hundred pre-approved buyers in La Costa Carlsbad California and would love to talk to you further about listing your home and bringing one of our qualified buyers to you.  To learn about our active buyers for La Costa~ Carlsbad, California click here.

Carlsbad California Homes for Sale ~ La Costa ~ Real Estate, Short Sale, REO, Foreclosures.

We wanted to provide you with some community information about the community of La Costa and up to date sales figures for Carlsbad, California.

 La Costa refers to both a residential community of Carlsbad and the world-class golf and tennis resort and spa that thrives at its center. The community is located primarily south of Alga Road, east of El Camino Real, north of Olivenhain Blvd. and west of the north-south portion of Rancho Santa Fe Blvd. The La Costa Resort and Spa consists of two 18-hole golf courses, resort hotel and condominium units, 19 tennis courts and related retail businesses. Dr. Deepak Chopra operates the Chopra Center located at the resort. La Costa the community is mostly residential, with shopping centers, upscale boutiques and fine dining restaurants. Because of overlapping district lines, schools within the community may be located in one of four school districts. La Costa Canyon High School and San Dieguito Academy serve residents of Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe and other surrounding communities, along with the southernmost portion of Carlsbad. The popular San Elijo Middle School and San Marcos High School serve students on the north side of the golf course. Real estate in La Costa is priced well above the average for both California and San Diego County.

La Costa's development began in 1965, when Irv Roston and a partner of the Desert Inn hotel in Las Vegas purchased 3,500 acres (14 km²) of the scenic area. A golf course was developed and homes began to be sold. The 90-room Rancho La Costa Inn was built to accommodate the visitors. Then, the Spa was added and ultimately, another 2,000 acres (8 km²) were purchased as the Inn grew in size. Sports Shinko, a Japanese company, bought the Resort in 1987. After years of decline, it was purchased in 2001 by KSL Resorts, a California resort hotel group, who totally revamped the La Costa Resort, spending in excess of $140 million.

Each February since 1999, La Costa Resort and Spa has hosted the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, one of the World Golf Championships events.
