| Market Commentary Provided by Brenda Avilla-Kintz REALTOR® GRI The rising numbers of REO’s and foreclosures are misleading many buyers to think that they can scoop up properties very easily. This is not really the case. Lenders have become very strict due to the economic downturn and in the case of many distressed sales, the original lender who is carrying the first loan on the distressed home for sale will not even look at an offer by Joe’s Mortgage and Loan based in San Leandro. They want to see an approval letter generated by Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Countrywide or other major lenders. So, It’s not all cream and peaches. You have to be a serious buyer with a serious 20% down payment, then you can scoop up the deals. |
