San Diego

Foreclosures are different from your typical real estate transaction. San Diego is no different than any other big city, there are many foreclosures to choose from. After you have identified the neighborhood or condominium complex that is right for your lifestyle choice, prepare to work closely with your lender and a good real estate agent. Choose a real estate agent who is calm and has a good rapport with the listing agents out there who have cornered the bank owned market.
Your biggest concentration of studio foreclosures is in San Diego’s downtown; you will not be disappointed with the savings. Put on your patience hat, have the ink fully loaded in your fax and be available. In 2 months, you will have the steal of the decade, maybe the century. Thinking of 11th Street or Mentone, you will find views galore and granite countertops at suburbia prices. West Harbor Drive at $450,000 was unheard of, but is now within reach. There are many resources for finding these listings; simple searches on the internet will get you maps and lists but no details. I suggest checking in with a realtor working the location you plan to purchase in. Use that agent exclusively; they all have the same MLS. That agent can give you a list of the foreclosures fitting your precise needs. You can drive by those locations and see if the locale is the right fit, then give your agent the numbers of the one’s you want to see inside.
