Los Altos Hills 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 Los Altos Hills. So here's what happened:

Single family and condo townhomes :
Total sales:  97
Short Sales: 4
REO:            6
Distressed sales as a percentage of total sales: 10.3%
Compare to 2010
Total sales:   81
Short Sales:   5
REO:            1
Distressed sales as a percentage of total sales:  7.4%

My conclusion:
The percentage of distressed properties in Los Altos is higher  2011 over 2010. 7-10% distressed property sale percentage is just beginning to affect values but I think there are other reason Los Altos Hills values are decreasing that are more important than short sales and foreclosures. The area is just not as popular these days as Atherton and Palo Alto are for the high end buyer.
If you have any questions about short sales or bank owned homes please feel free to contact me.

Los Altos 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 Los Altos. So here's what happened:

Single family and condo townhomes :
Total sales:  353
Short Sales: 4
REO:            3
Distressed sales as a percentage of total sales: 2%
Compare to 2010
Total sales:   354
Short Sales:   6
REO:            3
Distressed sales as a percentage of total sales:  2.5%

My conclusion:
The percentage of distressed properties in Los Altos is virtually the same  between 2011 and 2010. Also a 2-2.5% % distressed property sale percentage is not large enough to affect values. I think that while there may be a few more short sales this year Los Altos is so desireable and the employement rate is so high that the market should continue its strength.
If you have any questions about short sales or bank owned homes please feel free to contact me.

Single family and condo townhomes :
Total sales:  835
Short Sales: 111

My conclusion:
The percentage of distressed properties in Sunnyvale is virtually the same in Sunnyvale between 2011 and 2010. This percentage is starting to have an effect on prices, east of El Camino. However in the 94087 zip code there were 11 short sales and 3 REOs in 2011 compared with 4 short sales and 2 REOs in 2010 out of 295 sales in 2011 and 307 sales in 2010. While short sales almost trippled in 2011 the percentages are still very low compared to the other zip codes in Sunnyvale.

Mountain View Distressed Property Watch 2011

It's the end of the year so time for the round-up of distressed property sales in Mountain View. So here's what happened:

Single family and condo townhomes :
Total sales:  563
Short Sales: 62

My conclusion:
The percentage of distressed properties in Mountain View is a higher in 2011, 17% as compared to 2010, 15.5% but the majority of these distressed properties are in the lower price range of Mountain View sales so are being purchased by investors and first time home buyers. West of El Camino is not seeing much distressed property activity.

Redwood City Distress Property Watch 2011

It's the end of the year so time for the round-up of distressed property sales in Redwood City. So here's what happened:

Single family and condo townhomes 2011:
Total sales:  553
Short Sales: 91
REO:           49
Distressed sales as a percentage of total sales: 25.3
Compare to 2010
Total sales:   600
Short Sales:   93
REO:            78
Distressed sales as a percentage of total sales:  28.5

My conclusion:
The percentage of distressed properties in Redwood City is a little lower in 2011, 25.3% as compared to 2010, 28,5%. This is dues to a 40% decrease in REO sales in 2011. It will be interesting to see if the rumored release of REO inventory actually happens, and increases the percentage in 2012, or if the econmy picks up and helps people afford their homes.
