How Do I Find A Free List Of Foreclosed Homes In San Diego?
Posted by: | CommentsI don’t want to spend a lot of money, since this will be my first home. I also don’t want to have to pay alot of money upfront or pay fees to access foreclosure websites.
We are looking to spend no more than 300k. And yes, that can be done in today’s market. We have three children. As far as schools go, I’ve heard Poway is “award winning” but I don’t think that’s absolutely necessary. I just want a FUN and safe learning environment. We’re going the public school route. We were considering Eastlake but I’ve heard some negative things – plus all the foreclosures may be dragging the area down a bit. We don’t mind renting at first, either. We also need something relatively close (15 min. commute) to both the naval school and base on 32nd St. Last, I need something for me. A nice church with lots of programs. Good shopping area, coffee, postal service, pharmacy, wine/cheese shoppes, plus a fun & safe place to hang out/take strolls/window shop. Not to mention a nice place for the occasional (and necessary) cocktail.
Can I Afford To Buy A Foreclosed Or Short Sale Home In The San Diego Area?
Posted by: | CommentsI currently live in the Midwest, and my family is planning to relocate to the San Diego area within the next 2 years. Coming from the Midwest, where things are a lot less expensive, it is difficult for me to get used to the idea of paying California prices for a home! My husband and I both work in health care; he’s an x-ray tech, and I’m a nurse, so we are employable and not too broke, but not wealthy, either.
Anyway, my question is, if we have only about $200,000 to spend on a home, and we don’t need a lot (other than a reasonably safe neighborhood), would we be able to buy a foreclosure or short sale home? How would we locate these types of properties for sale?
Before anyone suggests living in an apartment, I need to point out that we have dogs and cats, so we need a yard we can fence. Also, we have 2 kids, so a family area would be nice.
Thanks!
Questions About Buying A Foreclosure Home In San Diego.?
Posted by: | CommentsI live in Michigan and have been drooling over the foreclosures in Ocean Beach, CA. I’m just scared of the property tax. How do I find out what the property tax is in San Diego? Their .gov site doesn’t tell me anything. I don’t want to commit to a realtor until I get more information. What are the foreclosure laws in CA.? I do plan on seeing the place before getting serious and my hubby can fix it up himself. My daughter lives in OB and I can put it in her name to take care of the residency issues. I would love to be able to buy her a place and let her rent out the extra room. Any help is greatly appreciated.
San Diego Will Be A “foreclosure Sanctuary”?

Here’s the link. Apparently, San Diego is sueing lenders to stop foreclosures in their city. Gosh, what do you think this will do to property value and future loan availability?
