Prices are Down and Orange County Homes are Starting to Move

Orange County home prices are down, but volume is starting to pick up, Distressed properties like short sales and bank owned homes are a big part of the action, but just how big?  Let's take a closer look at some real estate activity over the last few days.


Five Days of South Orange County Action

Homes Listed This Week
Type of Sale Homes Listed Sold the Same Week
Short Sale 120 53
Bank Owned 102 57
Non-Distressed 250 35











Yes, that's right - more than half the homes listed as REOs sold the same week, with an average of only 4 days on the market!  The clear message from the data is that although the housing market is in turmoil, smart investors have recognized that this is a rare opportunity to acquire real estate in Orange County at bargain basement prices.
