is the house on 5188 Woodley avenue foreclosed or for sale?

Asked Sat Oct 4 2008, 08:29 by Violet - 91436 - Home Buying - 3 answers

Jodie Francisco answered:

Hi Violet,

I thought that the house was foreclosed on but I just checked the public records, and it is not showing that to be the case. It is not currently on the market however. There are some other homes in this area for sale, and I actually live and work in the area. Let me know if I can be of further assistance. Thanks!

Is there a form or specific document for "offer to purchase"?

Asked Wed Sep 10 2008, 14:16 by Danny Oh - Los Angeles - Home Buying - 9 answers

Jodie Francisco answered:

Hi Danny,

I think you will find that the banks will not deal directly with you, they are so overwhelmed with the number of foreclosures and short pays, they will assign the property to a realtor and they will deal only with the realtor. Best of luck to you.

If house is in foreclosure process, will owners accept more than what they owe on mortgage but less than value

Asked Wed Aug 27 2008, 16:21 by Joriordan - 90025 - Home Buying - 7 answers

Jodie Francisco answered:

Hi Joriordan,

You'll never know unless you put pen to paper as we say...make an offer and see how motivated they are, and be sure to work with an experienced Realtor. It may be a short sale scenario and it could wind up being a lengthy but worthwhile process. Good luck to you! - Wed Aug 27 2008, 18:16

Looking for an upscale home ($2-5 Million) in 90049 and Pacific Palisades seems to offer few good options.

Asked Tue Aug 12 2008, 22:03 by Pablo - 90049 - Market Conditions - 6 answers

Jodie Francisco answered:

Hi Pablo,

I just cheked 90049 and there is only one short pay, not a foreclosure, available between 2-5 million. The foreclosures are mostly occuring in lower price ranges, and therefore not affecting areas like the palisades. What is affecting prices in the mid and higher ranges is the lending criteria is much tighter now.

Prices are being affected by short sales and foreclosures, but its not an across the board issue, and its very localized. I would love to help you if you would like some help in finding a great deal...there are many out there. Just let me know...best of luck to you!

Listing for less than acceptable price?

Asked Sun Aug 3 2008, 12:48 by Bill Thomas - Los Angeles - Home Buying - 8 answers

Jodie Francisco answered:

Hi Bill,

I have seen this happening in some parts of the valley, and if it is truly priced "under market" then it is typically getting mulitple offers and going over the asking price. The chatsworth area isn't moving as well as some other parts of the valley, and you don't mention a price range, but I know the higher end (over 1 million) has slowed down tremendously in Chatsworth. I believe that I currently have the high sale for Chatsworth in 2008, and we priced the home below the other comps on the market, and wound up getting it sold in 61 days. Some of these homes had been on the market for over a year. Under pricing in the current market is not a bad strategy to get the property sold quickly. You really can't underprice a property, as the market truly determines the value. Realtors will do their best to realistically value a property, but a property is only worth whatever a buyer is willing to pay for it!

Best of luck to you.
