With the constantly changing market we are in my goal is to keep you up to date with the most current statistics in the Santa Clarita Valley. As potential buyers these numbers help you to understand what the price ranges are for bank owned and short sale properties. There is a big misconception when it comes to bank owned properties and short sales. Many are led to believe that there is a fire sale going on, that the banks are giving deep discounts. Banks at this point are in the business to minimize their loss severity.
You as a buyer need an agent who truely understands this market and can help you get your desired home whether it be a bank owned or short sale listing. With so much information and misinformation you need an agent that is not an average agent to guide you through these investment opportunities.
My husband and I are Santa Clarita's Certified Distressed Property Experts, CDPE. By dealing with an agent who has earned the CDPE designation, buyers and sellers ensure that they are working with a real estate professional that is equipped to handle their specific needs.
