CA’s SS News
I’m having a great weekend! I’ve been working INSANE hours for the last few weeks jetting around the country (remind me to tell you about losing my keys an hour before my flight). So I decided to really take it easy this weekend and relax.
But luckily for you, even when I’m relaxing, I keep you in mind. So I wouldn’t want to miss a chance to blast out another email before the weekend’s over. I practically fell out of my beach chair when I saw this news.
Short sales and foreclosures in California made up FIFTY percent of all home sales in 2009! Is that incredible or what?? I mean, we all knew the kind of beating California had been taking. But that kind of news should definitely shock you.
The median price for a distressed home dropped by almost one quarter. One third of homes were sold for a loss. And don’t think those properties are just sitting around. No way, they’ve almost all been picked up.
And most of those investors were first-time home buyers. Most analysts believe prices will continue to increase slowly, but so far they’re still way below 2008 levels.
So where does that leave us? Are we getting in to California or getting out? Will big investments there pay off, or go bust?
Don’t think this kind of news is unique to California. No way! Take a look at sales around your local area. Chances are you’ll see pretty much the same story. The key is to get in on the action and make some deals. You’ll be helping the housing market recover, saving the economy, and you may just find yourself lounging on the beach chair next to me.
