Another opportunity and I’m sure there will be more but you have to jump on this as I am sure many buyers will. This particular unit is the standard 1 bedroom plus den floor plan and does not feature a catwalk. The unit although not facing Santana Row still features some nice views of the east hills. Santana Row still commands good rents and there is plenty of demand.
If you are interested you need to act fast, this property will likely be sold within a week.

With the rental market still strong and Santana Row still the hottest place around this is sure to be a good investment. Recently a 65,000 sqft. office structure has just been completed and ready for occupancy. Once leased, expect business in Santana Row to increase and perhaps demand for the units there will increase as well. If you can get this unit at this price it is a bargain.

This is the latest REO or bankowned property for sale in Rivermark, Santa Clara. There are a number of these Park town homes currently in default and will likely end up as more bank owned listings. The difference now is that they are likely to be snatched up by the increased buyer activity that has been mounting in past weeks. I don’t expect this town home to make it a full week on the market with out multiple offers.
For those of you shopping for bank owned homes and expecting deals, understand that Bank Owned or REO properties sell at market prices. That isn’t to say that because of their state or poor showing condition they are likely to sell lower than a conventional sale, I still feel Bank Owned homes and still a good deal. If you have all cash now they are especially good as many lenders are taking lower priced all cash offers over higher financed offers.

333 Santana Row #214, Sold for $515K. 1 Bedroom 1.5 Bath loft with catwalk, popout, large back patio, and 2 parking spots, great deal.
This short sale transaction just closed last week. For those of you who who are considering buying a short sale understand that the most important figures in the transaction are the negotiators, the listing agent, and the buyers agent, and the most important quality they must all poses is diligence.
Short sales are all about paperwork whether the paper work is the short sale package, lender addenda they need to be completed correctly or to the negotiators satisfaction and they need to be submitted in a timely fashion. Its my contention that a short sale can close quickly in 6 weeks, as long as the agents and negotiator are diligently meeting the negotiators request and submitting the paperwork in a timely fashion.
This particular short sale had two loans which made the agent’s diligence even more important and crucial. You have to satisfy the paperwork for two loans, but the complex issue is that the 2nd loan approval cannot be granted until the first is granted. Once the first loan has short sale approval they will offer funds to the second, the agent must find out from the 2nd loan what amount they will request in order to release their lien, and do that before the 1st loan approval expires.
With all the confusion and uncertainty its incredible that these transactions even close, but they do and its my impression that they are not that bad, and do close. The only frustration I feel is the uncertainty and the possibility of being thrown out of contract by a higher offer from another buyer. This can easily happen, be sure to read your addenda and understand the nature of your contract.
In the end because of the buyer’s patience, she got a great deal on this loft. It was really a great property, and I really enjoyed the feeling of being in this property.

This bank owned home is a great buy in Santa Clara. Its the popular 3 bedroom 2.5 bath Windsor floor plan in Darvon Park. The home is in move in condition. The kitchen was remodeled some years back, both bath rooms are very client and have new vanities with granite countertops. The back yard is very good sized, the home has expansion options which leave plenty of space in the back yard.
Downsides are that there has been some settling which is typical for these older homes, but this one has a bit more than typical. The roof needs replacement, the windows are old, and the back yard and front yard need some attention. Overall for a price of $475K, this is a good Santa Clara home at a very good price.

Good Deal on Short Sales in San Jose
Recipe for a good deal:
Find a development that was completed 4 or 5 years ago. A majority of the properties in the development will be underwater, where values are below mortgages. You can expect that there will be defaults in some cases these complexes have higher rates of default than other complexes. This will cause the supply of listings or distressed properties to be higher and bring down prices futher.
One example of this is the Encanto development in San Jose, near the University of Santa Clara. Currently there are a number of properties available. Some of the properties are still owned by the developer and are close outs. Others like the 4 listed below are distrissed sales, and judging from the number of defaults in the complex there will likely be more coming on the market.
