Blossom Valley Distressed Property Watch 2011

It's the beginning of the year so time for the round-up of last year's distressed property sales in the Blossom Valley Neighborhood of San Jose. So here's what happened:

Single family and condo townhomes :
Total sales:  1141
Short Sales: 412
REO:            271
Distressed sales as a percentage of total sales: 59.8%
Compare to 2010
Total sales:   1125
Short Sales:   366
REO:            271
Distressed sales as a percentage of total sales:  56.6%

My conclusion:
The percentage of distressed properties in Blossom Valley is a little higher in 2011 over 2010. A   59% distressed property sale percentage is enough to affect values significantly.  This may be one of the reasons home prices in San Jose are predicted to fall a little in 2012 while other parts of the Silicon Valley are appreciating.
If you have any questions about short sales or bank owned homes please feel free to contact me.
