California Home Values

Determining your home’s value is a 3 step process. A great way to begin is by checking your property value using our automated home valuation software. This free tool can help you determine what your home might sell for and can even calculate the estimated rental income it could generate by leasing out your property. If you’re considering selling your home, the next step would be to have a California real estate agent determine your property value by analyzing recent sales via MLS and public record data. To begin the process of determining your Homes value, start a free instant home valuation.

California Foreclosure Market

Although the foreclosure market is slow when the US market is in good shape, there are often times every decade where the number of Foreclosures has hit record heights. If you’re looking for a bargain on a home, get on our foreclosure listing search to be notified when homes are going to auction and those that will likely come to market as a bank-owned foreclosure. If you’re an investor with deep pockets, you may also be interested in buying bulk portfolios of properties at a discount.

Those that are not familiar with bank-owned properties might not know the difference between an auction vs. a bank-owned sale when it comes to financing. If you’ve seen a listing that is going up for public auction, you will need to pay cash at the courthouse and a loan will not be allowed (unless it’s a hard money loan that can instantly fund). If you’re looking to buy your investment using traditional lending, bank-owned properties or short sale would be your best bet.

California Short Sales

If you’re a property owner that is having a hard time paying your home mortgage each month, a short sale may in the best option for you. The best part about a short sale is that once completed, you can likely purchase another home within less than a year if done properly! If you have a financial hardship, you may still qualify for a short sale even if you earn income. As long as you continue to make payments each month, your credit may also not be dinged.

Through a short sale, the bank agrees to write off balance and typically marks your loan as paid in full. In many cases, homeowners completing a short sale can also earn a relocation allowance between $3,000-$10,000 in order to help with moving as long as the property is kept in good order. To learn more about short sales, contact a certified distressed property expert.
