I hope the headline porn grabbed you! 😆
REO listings have increased lately around NSDCC, though they are still a small fraction of the overall marketplace (there have been 2,238 detached-home sales closed this year between Carlsbad and La Jolla).
The short-sale listings coming to market haven’t changed much all year, which would be the first place you would see the effect of mortgage servicers getting tougher with deadbeats:
| Type of Listing | ||
| REO | ||
| Short-sale | ||
| Non-Distressed | ||
| Total |
This guy borrowed $3.75 million to do a spectacular remodel on this Del Mar home (the house with the glass-bottom pool), but he wasn’t going to give it away. The original list price was $6,750,000 in October, 2013, and dropped to $5,950,000 before getting foreclosed in June. The bank promptly listed for $5,495,000, and sold it for $5,210,000 last month:

There is some hope that lenders and servicers are increasing the flow now that prices are so much higher than before, and it would make sense that they would cherry-pick the properties on which they could make a profit.
But no flood of notices yet:
from 4 to 8 is 100%! some people I know out toward el cajon are still living rent free in a million dollar home since 2008.
100% in half the time = 4x, which if we can maintain that momentum…..,
Tom Stone sez people are walking on escrows up in NorCal; getting cold feet, thinking they were overpaying.
Last comment was me.
You need good agents on both sides and the price still needs to be attractive.
SS and REO == 26,
total for sale == 1388
More of a ripple than tsunami
