Hi Jeela,
Almaden valley has overal maintained it's value however neighborhoods could look different. If you are questioning to make an informed decision on buying or selling a property, instead of being general, I believe the best way is to get your own personal situations analyzed. It could be a good time for a particular one to buy or sell while a bad time for some one else. It all depends on your plans, motivations and reasoning and your amount of investment. The area questioned by you is still one of the most desirable areas in San Jose that is still under influence of a normal market. That is why you better review your own particular options and make firm decisions. But if your question is addressing the quick get rich situations and predicting when that will happen and market will change on that direction, you have to be really really patient or may be consider a different invetment option! Land is always limited on earth and will never loose it's value and and in the long run it will always go up, but as I said your plans could fall somewhere in between. - Thu Jul 31 2008, 01:18

foreclosed homes do i havve to pay all at once?

Rochelle Yousefian answered:
I have real cases where people are buying REO that is listed on MLS through agency and people are financing them. I closed on one last friday and have three pending to close in August.
With all due respect to the previous answer, what you mentioned might be the case in Las Vegas, but I do talk from my personal experience that you can finance on an REO if it is listed on MLS. Sometimes if it is not offered for full cash you can also buy it under financing terms through Auction. - Wed Jul 16 2008, 09:55
Hi Julia,

It depends on where and when you buy the foreclosed home. Here are the possible ways:
1. In San Jose, buying at the market street outside of the court house on the side walk street.
You pay only cashier's check in full. I won'd recommend you buying a foreclosed home this way unless you want to swim with the sharks in the same pool. This is a real game and don't play it unless you are very savy and know the market even better than a Real Estate agent!
2. Buying at auction: If homes do not sell at "Market Street" they become REO, Real Estate owned by banks. In this case, bank will eventualy list the property on MLS through a Real Estate agent. from time to time, banks want to clear their inventory and they would place some of those REO properties on auction. This does not necessarily mean that you are buying the property at a bargain price. You could however come across some good deals. You just have to make sure that you have studied the market closly and do not fall into the bidding war at the auction. When buying at auction you have to consider the auctioneer's fees as well. Some of the bigest auction companies that I have been to charge about 10% of the winning bid on top of the price. Which means if you are bidding you must take that 10% into consideration also. You do not have to pay cash when buying at an auction. You can either go through your own financing lender or sit with one of the lenders at the auction and get your approval and sign up for the application. If you buy through this option, it is a good idea to use services of a Real Estate agent, since they could provide you with full service on coordinating the transaction and evaluating the market for your prior to your purchase and you are not paying them directly. They will get paid through part of that 10% that you have to pay the auctioneer regardless of using their service or not.
3. Buying REO (Bank owned - post foreclosure) listed on MLS. this is just like buying any other property on MLS. The response time normaly in REO properties is faster than short sale properties and more effective. If your agent knows the market well, and knows how to package your offer, you could get some real good deals out of these properties.
I have been involved in buying and selling 5 bank owned properties in the last 6 weeks and just closed o on a property that was sold through auction three months ago, and have pretty good information on dealing with these type of properties.
No matter which approach you take, review all your options in detail.
Good luck. - Sun Jul 13 2008, 23:12

BEST ANSWER
This community is nearby my office. I have seen the development from when it started. Even at the peak time of the Real Estate in the area, I thought these properties were over priced due to lot size, noise, and parking convenience. I still think they are over priced but if you are looking for a brand new property and do not have much time or resources for maintenance they could be suitable properties for you. In general eventhough they look cute, but the plan did not seem to suite the neighborhood that well and the developers were too greedy on land.
As fas as noise, eventhough Leigh avenue is not that much of a high trafic Avenue, but there is still ongoing yet still trafic however the bedrooms are very close to the street.

As for the builder is not local and I have not seen much projects by them in the area. - Sun Jul 13 2008, 22:48

Hi Linda,
You are being reasonable as far as pricing and expectations. You don't necessarily have many choices but have good choices.
One community that I would suggest you which offers all the convenience of shoppings and convenience and freeway access points is a new community developed nearby Santana Row and Campbell.
Nothing to hide, I will give you the official website for this compelx that will give you more info. Obviously this is linked to sales office for the builders on these projects, but I would be honored to represent you as a buyer agent or even find you more communities. Let me know if this type of neighborhood would be of desire to you and your spouse or not. Here is their website:

The builders are now offering no association fee for one year; No Closing costs; Buy down rates and many more.

Question removed

Rochelle Yousefian answered:
Hi Katie,
I agree with most of the comments that you got on your question as far as traffic and lot size. I have only a few cents to add:
1. If you ever decide to make improvements or additions to the property located on a corner lot or would like to build one, you have two sides of the street for your setbacks. On the plus side this adds to the curb appeal (Dont forget this translates to more maintenance), on the negative side this takes away from your buildable or expandable space.
2. higher chances of accidents on busy streets.
In conclusion in my opinion a property on the end of Court offers more land and privacy, a property on the corner lot offers more wasted land and traffic and depending on the location of the streets more parking space.
One more thing: There are also more trees to take care of and prune and if non existant per City of San Jose you would need to plant them.
