Del Mar Real Estate For Sale and Sold - February 2010 Market Update

Justin Gramm - San Diego Exclusive BUYER AGENT - Accredited Buyer Representative: Real Estate Agent in San Diego, CA

Last month (January 2010), seven Del Mar real estate listings sold through the Sandicor multiple listing service (MLS), ranging in price from $685,000 to $1,700,000 (all in the 92014 zip code). Two of the seven real estate listings that closed were listed as short sales. Another two were listed as bank-owned foreclosures. The remaining three were listed as normal (traditional) listings.

  • Six of them were detached homes in Del Mar. One was a townhome.
  • The two short sales sold for $685,000 and $802,000. Both were detached homes (built in 1971 and 1975).
  • Six of the transactions had two agents involved (an agent representing the seller and an agent representing the buyer).
  • One listing sold with the listing agent also representing the buyer (This is called dual agency). That one sold for higher than the list price and was over $1,000,000. It was on the market for only 11 days.
  • The average time on market was 93 days. The longest was 187 days, and the shortest was 11 days.
  • None of these Del Mar homes for sale were located right on the beach.

What's currently on the market in Del Mar?

  • Currently (as of February 4th), there are 132 residential Del Mar real estate listings for sale in 92014, ranging in price from $195,000 to $61,000,000.

  • There are 20 properties currently listed as "pending" in the MLS, ranging in price from $349,000 to $5,395,000.
  • There are also nine properties listed as "contingent." Contingent doesn't necessarily mean "in escrow." Stay tuned for a future post about the definition of "contingent" as a status field in the Sandicor MLS.

Del Mar is one of my favorite areas of San Diego, and the Del Mar real estate market certainly is an interesting market at the moment.

Del Mar Foreclosures- Del Mar Bank Owned & REO Homes For Sale

01-13-10
James Park
James Park: Real Estate Agent in Carlsbad, CA

Hello and Welcome to Del Mar California Free Foreclosure Auction Search, Bank Owned REO, Short Sales, and Homes for Sale.

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 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. To learn more about Pre-Foreclosures in Del Mar and actually search all Pre-Foreclosures in Del Mar for free click the yellow map.

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. To learn more about Foreclosure Sales In Del Mar 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 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. To learn more about Bank Owned REO listings in Del Mar and search all available inventory click the yellow map below.

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 Del Mar and search available inventory click the yellow map below.
