Lake Forest 2 Market Update 12/02/2008

I decided to update all the neighborhoods in one post today so you can see all the year-to-date activity for each neighborhood.  I am trying out a new report format, so let me know if you like it or not. 

I like this new report because it includes all the photos for each property, and will update itself if the price or status changes.  A new field called “Special Conditions” is under the property description and will tell you if the property is a short sale, or REO listing.  It also shows the $/square foot price of each property which I think may be valuable to the analytical types.  These links will all expire in 30 days, but I will provide all the new reports before then.

It looks like the first closing in the Oaks neighborhood this year will be a bank-owned home.  It is one of the 4 bedroom single story homes that came on the market on August 22, priced at $474,900, and went in to escrow on September 15.   Since it was on the market more than a week, I will bet that the sale price will be somewhat less than asking.

When this closes, it will not help the comps for the other 5 listings that are on the market, but that is the state of our real estate market today.  Bank-owned homes have made up over 41% of all closings in Lake Forest for the most recent 90 days!

It has been pretty quiet the last week, but yesterday 4 new REO (bank-owned) listings came on the market.  There is a waterfront in the Lake Forest Keys priced at $763,900, a 4 bedroom, 2800 square foot house with 3 car garage priced at $579,900 in the Serrano Ridge neighborhood, a 2 bedroom condo in Lakeside Park at $255,000 and a 4 bedroom in the Oaks  priced at $474,900. 

These are all aggressively priced and are not expected to last very long.  Call me if you would like to see any of them.
