Because of the massive and wide-spread use of sub-prime mortgages over the past five years, the foreclosure crisis has created an historic level of REO properties hitting the market; A trend that has contributed to declining housing prices and created a whole new level of affordability for buyers. Reports show that residential real estate investment activity in California has grown upwards of 65% in the past year alone with real estate investors the most rapidly growing population of buyers.
Homeownership has long been a symbol of the American Dream and the cornerstone of wealth creation for most families. The current market correction in housing prices and the increase in REO Foreclosure homes has served to create a favorable environment for buyers looking to buy a home in the Los Angeles and Inland Empire counties of San Bernardino and Riverside. Foreclosures in the Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Fontana, Chino Hills, Pomona, Mira Loma, Corona, Riverside and the surrounding Southern California Inland Empire communities offer an affordable real estate home buying option for buyers that want the advantage of a good deal when buying their home.
We try to make a significant effort to market REO properties to low to moderate income homebuyers that were previously priced out of the market. First Time home buyers that want to get the most value for their first investment should consider REOs as an affordable housing option and turn these losses into new beginnings.
There are real benefits to buying an REO:
Did you know . . . Home prices have been so inflated for nearly six years that many hardworking people have been priced right out of the market and unable to afford even a simple starter home. Because REO properties are priced competitively and interest rates are historically low, many first time home buyers are able to qualify for a mortgage and buy their 1st home with an affordable payment . . . often lower than the rent they have been paying!
