Ashlon Langley Writer and Director of The Car a 1970’s film starring James Brolin was interviewed on Shameful Cinema. I write many Blog posts about San Diego and San Diego Real Estate and after reading the Ashlon interview about this 1970 movie I thought I would deviate and write about something out of the ordinary. I like the 1970’s low budget movies without all of the special effects and outspoken actors of today’s Hollywood. Ashlon responding to a question from the interviewer Andy about the car design he said;
Ashlon: The under-cranking was reminiscent of the Adams Family and The Munsters television series, making that quality silly to me. However, the design is choice! I love that one of the confusing points for the cops in the movie is that they can’t tell what make or model the beast is. And… it has no tags! If only they could get a license plate, the bungling cops could stop all the mayhem, yeah right!
I wrote about this movie and this interview because things are also reminiscent of the 1970’s even though it’s 2009. We are now like in the early 70’s in a recession and inflation is due to rise. America has taken a hit in the pride department due to the media’s constant attack on the good things America stands for and good things the United States does for so many around the world. The 70’s brought about the 80’s and the economy started gaining ground again and Americans had a lot of good things to feel good about. Watch The Car if you can and read the Ashlon interview. It’s truly entertaining.

South Bay San Diego has been and continues to be a very hard place to buy a home. It has one of the highest amounts of REO AKA Bank Owned Foreclosures and Short Sales in San Diego County. Chula Vista Real Estate, especially homes priced $300,000 and under, is a very popular price range. I have written well over 100 offers with several clients in the South Bay and have had only 2 accepted. My clients also write good fair offers on the properties they are interested in buying.
Most of the homes in the South Bay are short sales and can stay on the market for many months and sometimes over a year. To a buyer or non savvy real estate agent, this makes it looks like there are lots of homes for sale in the MLS and on sites like Realtor.com and Trulia. The truth is that most of the homes are short sales with many offers on them and no answer in site from the bank on what they’ll accept for a sale price. Some short sales I have had offers in on have had well over 20 offers rivaling some of the REO listings with the highest I’ve seen have well over 40 offers. This market can leave many home buyers discouraged.
The rumor of the second wave of foreclosures, which is not a rumor, is on the way with the hole in the dam already gushing water and the collapse of the dam imminent. But why are the asset managers representing the banks not unloading these toxic assets faster. This is a good question and is talked about often among real estate agents and REO agents like me. The most logical and most likely among people in the know is waiting for the administration. That’s right, it’s believed by some that the banks are waiting to see if Obama will buy back the toxic assets with your tax dollars. If the banks sell the REO’s now they won’t get money from Washington. If the bank sells now they will take the loss on the home which is $100,000 or $200,000 or much more. If they wait for another bailout by Big Brother they can get the money from us “you and me” and not take a loss. Would you wait? Of course this is just talk who knows if it’s really true or going to happen.
In the mean time if you’re buying a home in South Bay San Diego be patient and don’t get discouraged. Buying a home will take time and should be considered and adventure like life itself.

Many people hear short sales and think “shorts for sale” these are not shorts for sale in San Diego. They are short sales or selling your home short of what is owed on it to the bank.
The San Diego MLS is filled with Short Sale Homes. Many buyers think that most of the homes for sale in San Diego Foreclosures or bank owned homes. The fact is that there are many more short sales in San Diego County than there are foreclosures. When buying a short sale home in San Diego there are many things that need to be taken into consideration. Things that you will need an experienced San Diego Short Sale Realtor to help you with. There are many reasons why a short sale home can be a better option over a bank owned home.
A short sale home is a home that is listed for sale and will sell for less money than what is owed by the homeowner to the bank or mortgage company. San Diego has many short sale homes on the market and will continue to through 2009, 2010, 2011 and maybe even further down the line. If the home doesn’t sell as a short sale it will in most cases become a foreclosure and will be taken back by the bank and become an REO or Real Estate Owned on the banks books. The banks will then sell this home or hire a San Diego REO Listing Agentto sell the home as a foreclosure.
Some of the benefits of buying a short sale home over an REO are that in many cases because the homeowner still owns the home the homes are in better condition. The homeowner wants their home sold before the bank forecloses on it and in most cases will have it well kept during the short sale process and in many cases be living in it. This is not always the case but it is more likely that a San Diego Short Sale is in better condition than a San Diego REO. The process for buying a short sale is usually much longer than buying a foreclosure. There is much more negotiation and bank processing time when purchasing a short sale.
