December 2009
To close out the year we had fourteen closed escrows for apartments this month.
Three triplexes closed escrow in Bermuda Dunes. Bermuda Dunes is a small community unincorporated in Riverside County just east of Palm Desert. It’s also famous for hosting the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.
There are many small income properties available in the area. Prices here have declined over 50% since the peak of the market late 2005/early 2007.
Cathedral City had seven closed escrows this month. An investor got a fantastic purchase for 29275 Avenida La Paz at $212,000 (All Cash). This was a ten year old duplex in good condition that was an REO.
This property had multiple offers immediately after being placed on the market.
Good property sells quickly here!
Desert Hot Springs enjoyed four closed escrows in December. Three were short sales and one was an REO. Can you believe all the multi-family in Desert Hot Springs sold for less than $87,000? This type of unit will have higher operating costs and may require intensive management.
Attractive purchases can still be located. It’s imperative to have your proof of funds, qualification letter (if financing a property) and be ready to make an offer as soon as a great deal hits the market.
In summary – for December 2009 closed escrows:
REO Sales - 8
Short Sales - 5
Regular Sale - 1
