Nic Petrossi, Anaheim Hills Realtor – Complete List of Bank Owned | REO | Foreclosures as of Nov. 4, 2008

The following is a complete list of all bank owned (REO, foreclosures) of Anaheim Hills homes as of Nov. 4, 2008.  It is interesting to note that the percentage of these REO properties to regular sale properties in Anaheim Hills is a very small percentage.  The number of bank owned homes vs. regular sale homes in Anaheim Hills is 9 to 192 or 1 out of 20, That is, less than 5% of Anaheim Hills homes on the market are bank owned (REO) properties.  This is a good sign for the real estate market in Anaheim Hills and bodes well for the future direction of the market.

Boo!…Are You Scared Yet? Thoughts from a Placentia Realtor

Well here we are, it’s almost Halloween and it’s amazing how time flies!

We have seen so much happen in the last 4 years…the housing BUBBLE DEFLATION (the “bubble” is looking more like a deflated jumper on the lawn of a 7 year old birthday party).  We have seen banks scramble as they take back thousands of placentia homes, yorba linda homes and orange county homes back on their books.  We have seen BLACK MONDAY when the stock market plunged with almost unprecedented decreases.  (Scary, but felt almost the same way when I was watched the World Trade Center go down).  It has been a very volatile last few years.  Presently only home owners in North Orange County who bought homes 2003 or sooner have homes worth more than when they were purchased.  It has taken 3 years for homes to go back down to 2004 values.  Now, most buyers who have been sitting on the fence are eyeing the bank owned repos feeling that the best deals are in the foreclosure market.  We’re seeing bank owned foreclosures with attracting multiple offers and agents in our Prudential Brea office are complaining that in some areas they cannot win the bidding war to get their client a home! 

When you have multiple offers, you’re usually near the bottom of a downward trend.  It has taken a long time, but sellers are finally becoming more realistic about the true worth of their home.  Those that are unrealistic or just “testing the waters” of the market are taking their homes off the market when they sit for months and months with no serious offers.  Less people put their homes on the market in September / October / November / December so what we’re seeing is a decrease in inventory for re-sale homes and an increase in the number of buyers entering the market who are hoping to time the “bottom” perfectly (like trying to buy when stocks are at their absolute lowest). 

So, when is a good time to sell?  Answer:  Whenever you HAVE TO.  I’m finding that sellers who HAVE to sell are selling their homes because they’re lowering their prices to attract offers.  Sellers who WANT to sell will not sell their homes unless they’re willing to compete with the HAVE TO sellers and join the elite group who are pricing their homes under market, ahead of the bell curve.  These are the sellers that will look back and be glad they did what they had to do.  Those that played around with trying to get top dollar will be looking back saying, “Gosh darn, I should have been more aggressive.”

October 12, 2008 Placentia Foreclosures, Brea Foreclosures, Yorba Linda Foreclosures, Anaheim Hills Foreclosures, Orange County Foreclosures — A Response to O.C. Register Article

An article came out today in the Orange County Register Front Page regarding Orange County Foreclosures. (Orange County, CA that is).  Writer Mathew Padilla quotes DataQuick Data company as his source saying there are more than 3,300 unsold foreclosures in Orange County as of early September 2008.  Though we all know that good news does not sell newspapers and that the O.C. Register is notorious for skewing data to achieve their ends (increased newspaper subscriptions), Mathew Padila did admit that homebuyers are snatching up foreclosures.  This is true.  As a Realtor, I have made offers with buyers on short sale properties and bank owned properties (foreclosures) and have found pretty stiff competition with multiple offers and buyers often out-bidding each other by anywhere from $5,000 over asking price to (I’ve seen) $100,000 over asking price when the home is priced so far under market value that home buyers and investors realize to get the home, they have to sometimes go WAY over asking price. 

Placentia Home Example:

  A home in my own neighborhood in Placentia (smaller unit) was selling as bank owned for $399,990.  I put an offer on this home at full asking price.  It turns out, there were already (1st day on market!!!) several offers already on the table, according to listing agent.  The home ended up selling for (get this) $455,000.  So, although it may be true that there several foreclosures on the market, the GOOD ONES are being bought up immediately and buyers are often paying MORE than asking price when they realize what a ridiculous deal it is. 

Furthermore, the article in the O.C. Register does not specify the number of foreclosurs per city / area.  What this means is that there the 3,300+ homes are mostly in areas where most of the bad loans (stated income negative amortization or adjustables) were issued.  The real numbers for local cities?

Placentia Foreclosures:  25 Bank Owned (REO) Properties out of 186 homes on the market as of TODAY, October 12, 2008.  That’s a whopping 13% baby!

Yorba Linda Foreclosures:  15 Bank Owned (REO) Properties out of 384 homes on the market as of TODAY, October 12, 2008.  Hold on to your hats and glasses for this stat — That’s a whole 4% !!!!! 

Brea Foreclosures:  7 Bank Owned out of 111 total properties (again as of today)…that’s 6% folks.

Is Supply really ahead of Demand as Mathew Padilla says?  Well, in some cities, but when you have only 15 foreclosures listed on the MLS in Yorba Linda out of 384 homes, I wouldn’t call that a majority.  In fact, I’d say that these 15 properties are either going to be bought and gone tomorrow or there is something seriously wrong with some of them.  Buyers are buying REOs like they’re going out of style, when they are priced right (which 90% they are) and they are in good areas.

Looking for a foreclosed / bank-owned property in a great area?  Let me do the research.  If you’re looking in the North Orange County area (Fullerton, Placentia, Brea, Placentia, Orange, Anaheim Hills) or even some of the perimiter cities, I’ll run the search for you and send the properties to your email.

For more foreclosure information, check out RealtyTimes, RealtyTrac.com or Yahoo! Real Estate.  (make sure you click the “foreclosures” bubble.  Your best bet is to send your request to my email since I can weed out the homes that are already in escrow or in neighborhoods that are right for you.
