NEW REO HOMES HIT THE SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY REAL ESTATE MARKET
In the past week, 57 new Bank Owned, or REO, homes hit the market for sale in South Orange County, CA. They come in all shapes and sizes, from a 1 bedroom 1 bath offered for sale at $134K in Lake Forest to a 5 bedroom 6 bath custom home in the Summit of Turtle Ridge with two kitchens in Irvine offered at $3.4M. Quite a spread in size, price, location, and condition. Just what the REO market is all about!
But here's the scoop - 31 of these are ALREADY SOLD. There is such huge demand for homes that people can acutally buy in today's market, that these REO's are flying off the shelf - in multiple offer situations- many selling for more than the original asking price.

Has the OC Housing Market Bottomed Out?
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009 at 8:17pm. 415 Views, 0 Comments.
The Orange County Register reported today that the median price of a home in OC climbed for the second consecutive month. The March median was $385,000, up from $375,000 in February and $370,000 in January. Another bullish sign is the continued climb in the number of homes sold. March was the ninth consecutive month of year-over-year sales increases, with 2,433 homes sold - a 46% jump from March of 2008.
There are still plenty of concerns in the market, with homes priced over $500,000 selling slowly, and short sales accounting for about 30% of the homes on the market. One interesting wrinkle is that bank owned homes have become a scarce commodity. Just a few months ago bank owned properties also made up about a third of the transactions, but today…

Homes Under $500,000 are Hot
A closer look shows that lower priced homes continue to drive the market, fueled largely by first-time buyers and investors. Sales of houses and condos under $400,000 jumped almost 257%, and those priced between $400,000 and $500,000 were up 10.5%. All higher priced homes actually sold at a slower pace than in 2008, as shown by the table below.

We’ve been saying that the Bank Owned market is the fastest moving segment of today’s Orange County Real Estate market. Bank Owned homes can be found for sale in every city throughout Orange County and often represent some of the best bargains on the market. Recently though, there's been a decrease in the number of new REO homes for sale in the Orange County Multiple Listing Service (MLS) despite the reports in the media that foreclosure rates are increasing. Here’s what’s going on.
According to a recent newsletter published by the National REO Brokers’ Association – a nation-wide organization of REO listing agents – there are holdbacks on REO properties across every market in the country. These holdbacks are the result of the strangest and most…
