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 or sellers 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 (foreclosures) and short sales (pre foreclosures). 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. There is a difference between a pre foreclosure and a foreclosure. The time period between the first missed payment and the final bank sale is called the pre foreclosure phase. Foreclosure is a legal process that is initiated whenever a homeowner defaults (stops making payments) on their mortgage(s). When the foreclosure is completed the home is either sold at auction or becomes real property of the lender and is now owned by the lender REO, Real Estate Owned.

Many of you have heard these terms on the news lately or see these type of homes in your communities. Would like to know what these terms mean or understand how the short sale process works? Go to short sale, pre foreclosure definitions.

You as a buyer need an agent who truly understands this market and can help you get your desired home whether it is a bank owned or short sale listing. With so much information and misinformation you need an above 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 experienced short sale real estate professionals that are equipped to handle their specific needs.
