Anyone having read this years headlines has been hearing the same message about real estate; Inventory is up, Sales are down and Prices are down. However, little has been said about the relationship of foreclosures to our markets except in a very general manner, at least not until a recent article in the San Francisco’s Chronicle finally got it right. “Housing market muddle,” written by Carolyn Said, ran in this Wednesday’s paper.
The article talks about how foreclosures are influencing the markets. As always, these articles are never specific enough, nor quite up to date. The article uses DQ News as a source. This is definitely a great source to be using. However, the numbers used are always based on last month or the prior month. The principal message in it’s article “Bay Area home sales remain at a 2 year low,” is that “Last month’s median price in the Bay Area was 19.4 percent lower than the peak median of $665,000 reached last June and July.” The spreadsheet breaks down numbers by counties.
I’ve taken this a step further because markets are much more localized. You can view “Glen’s Numbers” (taken as of April 15), and broken down by city, HERE.
The influence that foreclosures have on markets is becoming greater than ever. The relationship between inventories, sales, prices, and REO (foreclosures), becomes a little clearer. Since February 1, 2008, in the last 2 and half months, 36% of all sales in the Bay Area have been foreclosures. Typically, banks do not spend much on curb appeal, repairs, clean-ups, staging, etc. They lead with price, and are finally becoming very aggressive as a means to lead the way in sales of those cities with far too much inventory.
Investors and buyers are now recognizing that foreclosed properties for sale are running at a discount. The message, “More people can afford to buy,” is clear, and REO (foreclosures), are getting picked up as bargains.
Those cities that have been influenced the least with price reductions are areas that typically have very little foreclosed properties and lower inventories;
Berkeley has a 2.7 months supply of homes on the market. Only 4% of its sales since 2/1/08 have been REOs.
On the other extreme, Pittsburg has a 27.3 months supply of homes on the market. 81% of its sales since 2/1/08 have been REOs.
Again, I encourage you to view the complete list of the 38 cities in the East Bay Area in the above link.

So, this is that awkward Sunday after the super bowl when it finally sets in there’s more to Sunday than football from 10-8:30 eh? At least the weather is great out here in the Bay Area. In the upper Midwest, the temperatures are struggling just to get into the black.
ANYWAY….
We were thinking of putting together a “How to Buy an REO Property” workshop on a weekend day, where we would actually go out and tour and analyze a few active REO listings together after an introductory class & a catered lunch. If there’s interest, I think we could put the first one together by early-to-mid April.
In the meantime, here’s this week’s Active REO listings…

So another Sunday has arrived, and along with that comes another fresh set of active East Bay Bank Owned Foreclosure /REO listings. (REO Wikipedia)
In the past we’ve only publishing lists for Western Alameda & Contra Costa Counties, but this week we’ve added both Southern Alameda County &, Eastern Alameda & Contra Costa residential lists.
Sorry, no quick stats today. My notebook’s power supply konked out and I’m doing my best to get this to you right now via my old desktop & it’s running S L O W.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who downloaded the lists and checked them out. Although we had less total downloads, the volume of phone calls & emails continue to rise.
For this we thank you!
Remember that this is a community project. We welcome your suggestions to help us improve our services and hope that you’ll contact us when you want to talk to someone who’s actively working in the REO trenches.
Once again, I’ll also be posting the lists in the ‘relatively static’ Foreclosures / REOs section of the site, so if you miss a week and want to find an older one, look in there.
Same deal.. If you see something that strikes your fancy and you want more info, want to write some offers, or just want to talk about how we can do some business together, just call or email us (my info is on the top right corner) Cool?
So without further ado, here’s this week’s lists…

Another Sunday means another fresh set of active East Bay Bank Owned/REO lists.
Right now we’re only publishing lists for Western Alameda & Contra Costa Counties, but if there’s demand, I think that Norm might be up to the task.
A few quick facts from last week’s download stats:
* 319 total downloads of the various lists. That’s up 93% from last week!
* 77 people downloaded the entire package of lists.
* The ratio of d/l for SFR/Income property lists were 3.8/1
* The Alameda County Income Property lists were d/l’ed 6 times more than the Contra Costa Income Property lists.
Thanks to everyone who downloaded the lists and checked them out. The phone calls and emails that have started to roll in assure us that our readers/community members/business partners are finding value in the lists and your kind words and future earned business are what totally makes our effort worth while.
As much as you rely on us, we rely on you to help us improve our services. Thanks to a couple suggestions that we received last week, we’re going to be rolling out a couple of new features in the near future that we’re super excited about, so stay tuned.
Once again, I’ll also be posting the lists in the ‘relatively static’ Foreclosures / REOs section of the site, so if you miss a week and want to find an older one, look in there.
