Hello and Welcome to ~Aviara~Carlsbad California Foreclosure Auction, Bank Owned REO, Homes for Sale, Real Estate.

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.
Understanding the 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. 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 usally gives the homeowner 90 days to come current on the amound their 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 things 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 ~Aviara~ Carlsbad and actually search Pre-Foreclosures in Carlsbad for free click the yellow map.
Foreclosure Sale (Alo 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, most of the time this process is delayed currently. Notice of Trustee sale usally takes place on the courthouse steps in the County in which the property is located. In this case, 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 ~Aviara~ 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 area 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.

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, 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. Making Re Sales a great option as well. To learn more about Re Sale Homes for Sale in ~Aviara~ Carlsbad click here.

It's an ugly question to have to ask, but a very real one.

The Four Seasons Aviara Resort has been a mainstay of South Carlsbad's Aviara area for more than 10 years (they signed a 30-year contract in 1995 with several 20-year optional continuations). That is until the owners of the resort that the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts manages got their britches in a bunch.
The owners are alleging financial mismanagement by the Four Seasons and running the resort in a less-than-cost-effective manner (my words). Seems the alleged issues surround the 2009 operating budget and recent refinancing by the owners resulting in increased debt (a challenge in these economic times), who now want to bring in Dolce Hotels and Resorts as new managers of the resort.
The Four Seasons states that the increased debt by the owners is "making it impossible for the resort to service this amount of debt in the current economic downturn" according to a recent article by Penni Crabtree in the San Diego Union Tribune. Here's a press release from the Four Seasons on May 13.
The parties were in federal court May 11, then started oral arguments in late May. Arbitration proceedings began on May 29 according to the North County Times, and the hearing was continued until the week of June 15. I haven't seen any updates on where things stand now.
I'm not familiar with Dolce Hotels and Resorts and have no idea if they can run the caliber of resort that so many are accustomed to, and gravitate towards, at the Four Seasons hotels. Some folks want, and are willing to pay for the Four Seasons experience, which garners them high rankings in polls by Conde Naste and others year after year. I have my own personal reasons for wanting the Four Seasons to remain. Nuff said.
Stay tuned - the battle is not yet over.
