Stevenson Ranch Short Sales & Bank Owned Properties for sale
As your Stevenson Ranch Certified Pre Foreclosure Specialist team we are here to provide you with the most current short sale (pre foreclosure) and bank owned (REO) property statistics in the Stevenson Ranch. Whether you are thinking about buying a home, you need to short sale your home, or are just looking to be educated about the current Stevenson Ranch real estate market.
Many agents will cut and paste the daily numbers, but is this really giving you a true picture of what happening in our market? I have done an in depth analysis of the Stevenson Ranch Pre Foreclosure & Foreclosure Real Estate Market. I usually do a monthly break down of the bank owned listings vs. the short sale listings but felt it necessary to give you a clear picture of what the statistics are showing us from February 3 to September 2, 2009.
You may have noticed we have reached historic low levels of inventory here in the Santa Clarita Valley. In my opinion the government programs have created a seller's market. The banking institutions are taking advantage of a basic supply vs. demand market with the foreclosure moratoriums in place. By cutting off the supply and creating incentives for first time home buyers to purchase, they have slowed the decline of property values. You can clearly see that President Obama's pressure on the banking industry to streamline loan modifications and short sales is starting to take effect. If you look closely at the bank owned properties vs. the short sale properties in Stevenson Ranch you will see the bank owned prices have gone down in value but the short sale prices are on the rise. It will be interesting to see how this next wave of Foreclosures will impact our market.

With the constantly changing market we are in my goal is to keep you up to date with the most current home sales statistics in Stevenson Ranch. As potential buyers or sellers these numbers help you to understand what the price ranges are for bank owned and short sale properties for sale. 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, they want to see offers as close to fair market value as possible. In some instances there are listings that are generating multiple offers which results in a higher sale price. Here is where an experienced agent can guide you with these purchases.
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.

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 types of homes in your communities. Would like to know what these terms mean or understand how the short sale process works?
