Description

This home is a Real Estate Owned (REO)/Post Foreclosure. Once a lender has foreclosed on a property it is soon put up for public auction. If bids fall short of the asking price the bank will buy back the home and attempt to sell it on the open market. However, lenders are not real estate agents, meaning that they will often accept offers 30 to 60 percent less than market value!
838 John St, Salinas, CA 93905 is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1,027 sqft single-family home in Garden Heights, built in 1958. It last sold for $140,000 on Nov 25, 2009. It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $648,600, with a rent estimate of $3,249/month.
