The Santa Cruz mountains is a stunning place to live. Some of these homes with land have distant ocean views and gorgeous mountain views, you can feel like you are in a remote place in Northern California yet be minutes to town and even be able to commute 'over the hill' to San Jose, Silicon Valley areas.

I have had many people call me that work in the San Jose, Silicon Valley that want to buy a Santa Cruz home with land in the Santa Cruz mountains. They want a retreat home, somewhere to get away from the rat race and really relax. Santa Cruz mountain homes with land are a wonderful place for that.

Santa Cruz County Foreclosure Sales - Market Report

Jessica Wallace Santa Cruz Realtor (831) 419-9345 (Coldwell Banker - Santa Cruz) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 12:55:41 -0500

Santa Cruz Foreclosure Sales - Market Report 2011

We hear alot about foreclosures and bank owned sales all over the country. But how many foreclosure sales are there in Santa Cruz county? What percentage of all homes sales are foreclosures in Santa Cruz county?

Looking back at 2011, there were a total of 434 foreclosure sales in Santa Cruz county. These are single family homes sold through the MLS (multiple listing service) by banks are REOs or foreclosures. In 2011, there were a total of 1821 single family homes sold in Santa Cruz. This means that Santa Cruz county foreclosure sales made up almost 24% of our real estate market.

I am always asked by buyers about how to get a great deal on a foreclosure and if you can really low ball a bank when making an offer. My answer is, it depends. If you are an all cash buyer, you do have a better chance of getting a great deal on a Santa Cruz foreclosure. If the home has a lot of issues, we can sometimes use that to get a big discount. If there are multiple offers and the bank has underpriced the home in order to sell it quickly, I don't recommend making a low ball offer.

The median price of all Santa Cruz county foreclosures sold in 2011 was $330,000. The median price of 'regular sales' (not foreclosures or short sales) in Santa Cruz county in 2011 was $565,000. So you can see that Santa Cruz foreclosure sales are selling for less than regular sales.

I expect to see Santa Cruz foreclosure sales continuing in 2012 and beyond, but with a trend to more short sales than foreclosures or REOs.

Santa Cruz County Home Values - Market Report

Jessica Wallace Santa Cruz Realtor (831) 419-9345 (Coldwell Banker - Santa Cruz) — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 12:50:30 -0500

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY HOME VALUES - MARKET REPORT 2011

Looking back at Santa Cruz County Home Values in 2011, the trend has been slightly downward, but not by much compared to the past 3 years.

The median home price for all of Santa Cruz County in 2011 was $465,000. this is down slightly from 2010 when the median home value in Santa Cruz was $520,000 but about the same as 2009 when the median Santa Cruz county home sold for $495,000.

GRAPH OF SANTA CRUZ COUNTY HOME VALUES 2009-2011

The number of Santa Cruz home sales is up in 2011, there were a total of 1821 single family home sales in 2011 in all of Santa Cruz County. In 2010 there were 1598 SFR Santa Cruz county home sales.

Of the 1821 home sales in Santa Cruz County in 2011, 818 were short sales or foreclosures (REOs), which means almost 45% of all home sales in Santa Cruz were distressed sales. That is a huge portion of our market. I expect to see more short sales and foreclosures in 2012, but with a trend toward more short sales than foreclosures.

Overall, more Santa Cruz homes are selling and at a slightly lower price than the previous year. Santa Cruz home values are getting to be attractive to home buyers and first time home buyers are making up a large percentage of the market. With the historic low interest rates and great deals on foreclosures and short sales, many people have decided that now is the time to buy.

Santa Cruz USDA Loan - 100% Financing

Jessica Wallace Santa Cruz Realtor (831) 419-9345 (Coldwell Banker - Santa Cruz) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:52:25 -0500

SANTA CRUZ USDA LOANS - 100% FINANCING

Santa Cruz USDA loans or United States Department of Agriculture Loans are loans that offer 100% financing to buy a property. To buy a home with a USDA loan you must meet the income requirements, and not make too much or too little money. For income limits in Santa Cruz, contact me.

You cannot use a Santa Cruz USDA Loan to buy a home just anywere in county. USDA loans are for 'rural properties' so buying in the city of Santa Cruz or Watsonville is not an option. I have seen Santa Cruz USDA loans used in the San Lorenzo Valley (Boulder Creek, Felton) and there are many other 'rural' areas in Santa Cruz county you can use the USDA loan. You can go here to see a Map of eligilble areas for USDA loans in Santa Cruz

A USDA loan is not just for agricultural properties, you can actually buy a real home in Santa Cruz with a USDA loan, if it is in the designated areas and you qualify.

Contact me for more information about Santa Cruz USDA loans 100% financing and Santa Cruz First Time Home Buyer Programs.

SANTA CRUZ HOMEPATH LOANS

Santa Cruz Homepath loans are great loans for first time home buyers as well as investors in Santa Cruz county. Homepath loans can only be used on Fannie Mae owned properties, so you cannot use a Homepath loan on any foreclosed home in Santa Cruz, just a Fannie Mae foreclosure. While there are not a ton of Homepath homes for sale now, there are more and more coming on the market. Some of my clients were able to use Homepath loans this year to buy a home in Santa Cruz with great results!

Here are some of the features of Santa Cruz Homepath loans:

The downpayment can be as low as 3% down

NO PMI – Private Mortgage Insurance – This will save you lots of money over time if you are putting less than 20% down on a home.

NO Appraisal

HomePath Loans are available for owner occupants as well as investors.

There is a HomePath Renovation Loan which is similar to an FHA 203k loan or fixer loan. A HomePath Renovation Loan will lend funds for the purchase of the home and to fix up the home. Homepath will lend up to $35,000 to renovate the home.

If you are a first time home buyer, read my article Santa Cruz First Time Home Buyer Assistance Programs for more info about how you can qualify to buy a home.

Contact me for more info about HomePath loans and available HomePath homes for sale and foreclosures for sale in Santa Cruz.
