What Is The Best Way To Find New Sonoma County Foreclosures
June 2nd, 2009 categories: Buyer Resource, Foreclosures
I recently received an email with the following questions. I thought we would write about it to help other would be Sonoma County Home Buyers who may have the same questions.
“I signed up on your website and I am curious to know the best way to find new Sonoma County Foreclosures. Can you tell me what areas offer the best deals on Sonoma County Foreclosures?”
First of all, Thank you for your question. The single best way to stay informed on newly listed Sonoma County Foreclosures is through the Listing Alerts functionality that can be found once you sign up on WineCountryMoves.com. The Listing Alerts functionalty allows you to sign up for custom Real Estate searches, and then when a property hits the market that matches your search criteria an email is sent to you with the listing and all of the listing details. If you are serious about finding the home of your dreams, you should strongly consider signing up for Listing Alerts.
Many Sonoma County areas are offering great deals on homes, whether the homes are short sales, foreclosures or traditionally sold homes. With that said, we do realize foreclosures offer some of the best deals when talking about Sonoma County Real Estate, however, there are some homes that are NOT short sales and are NOT foreclosures that are priced well enough to compete with these two options.
Listing Alerts will allows you to see ALL of the homes that meet ALL of your criteria: list price, geographic area, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, lot size, garage spaces, age of home, etc. The areas that traditionally offer the highest number of affordable homes are listed below in order from highest to lowest:
- Santa Rosa Homes
- Rohnert Park Homes
- Sonoma Homes
- Cotati Homes
- Petaluma Homes
- Sebastopol Homes
- Fountaingrove Homes
Again…we DO suggest considering Foreclosures / Bank Owned Homes / REOs as well as homes with no special sale conditions, as ANY seller may be a motivated seller. Homeowners have learned if they want or need to sell their home, they need to lower their prices to compete with the generally lower priced foreclosures…the Real Estate playing field has since leveled itself out when it comes to different sale condition types.
Please visit us at WineCountryMoves.com to sign up for Listing Alerts. Once you sign up for Listing Alerts, you will not know how you ever tried to conduct a Real Estate search without them. We promise that you will be glad you did, especially after you close on the home of your dreams. Happy House Hunting.
Nice writing style. I look forward to reading more in the future.
