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.

Here are some of the latest statistics from Foreclosure Radar hot off the press for September 2009. If you are unfamiliar with some of the following terms please read below for further explanations.

• Notice of Defaults for California rose by 1.08% to 37,417 filings.
• Notice of Trustee Sale dropped by 5.10% from August to 32,457 filings.
• A total of 13,123 foreclosures were taken to Sale at auction.
• The opening bids set by lenders were an average of 33.9 percent lower than the loan balance, with 46% of sales being discounted of 50% or more.
• Nearly 91 percent of foreclosure sales in September were for loans that were made between January 2005 and December 2007.
• In the month of June San Diego had 2,769 Notice of Default Filings, 2,520Notice of Sale filings, and 290 sales to 3rd parties.

Understanding the overall 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. Under the new California Foreclosure moratorium lenders have an extra 90 days in which they are supposed to aggresively pursue loan modifications with those current home owners who qualify. 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 gives the homeowner 90 days to come current on the amount they 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 options 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.

Foreclosure Sale (Also 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, these days this process is delayed most of the time. Notice of Trustee sale usally takes place on the courthouse steps in the County in which the property is located. In this area, 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.

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 option 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, that 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. This makes Re Sales a great option as well. To learn more about Re Sale Homes for Sale in Calavera Hills Carlsbad and search available inventory click the yellow map below.

Hello and Welcome to Carlsbad Homes for Sale. We wanted to provide a bit of information on a particular community in Carlsbad known as Calavera Hills.

Calavera Hills is a planned community located near the intersection of College Boulevard and Carlsbad Village Drive (the community is bordered on the north by the Oceanside-Carlsbad city boundary). The western portion (phase I) was constructed mostly in the 1980s and the eastern portion (phase II) is currently under construction. Calavera Hills features two elementary schools, one middle school, a very large community park, numerous pocket parks, trails, an artificial lake, and single family, attached, and apartment units. Calavera Hills is subdivided into four neighborhoods (Barrington, Capistrano, Nantucket and Sheffield), each of which are maintained by a homeowners' association. Some, especially condominium developments, feature community pools. Calavera Hills Middle school is located in the area. Much of the community, especially around Calavera Lake, is designated open space. Numerous trails exist near Calavera Lake for public use. Because of strong opposition to the partial draining of the lake, the city is currently considering other alternatives for the removal of a concrete object that protrudes from the lake's surface, which some consider to be an eyesore in an otherwise picturesque area.
