“Speed dating” 9 REO’s (in 90 minutes!) yesterday – an update
By Leslie | April 20, 2008
Wow – we did it! In less than 90 minutes – but we hustled smartly along! With a group of about 15 in a caravan of cars, we only spent 4 – 5 minutes in each home.
The homes ranged from a 3,000 square foot executive home to a real “fixer-upper” in mid-town Ventura. We saw contrasts – a beautiful, completely finished home (never thought you’d see that in a bank owned foreclosure did you?) to that fixer-upper (it needed everything – new roof, kitchen, baths, carpentry to repair bad windows, etc). We saw condos, single family homes and ended up at a beautiful single family home in east Ventura.
The purpose was to see a range of homes, in a range of developments and neighborhoods, and to get an initial sense of value of the current marketplace.
We had some investors, a lot of first time homebuyers, and some potential current homeowners thinking of moving up.
Our next tour will be homes in the north Oxnard area in early May. Come join us! It’s fun!
