San Francisco Bay Area Foreclosure Statistics

East Bay Area - South Bay Area

REOs (bank owned properties) and properties going into pre-foreclosure (NODs) continue to rise across the country, California and the Greater San Francisco Bay Area.

Banks and local real estate agents are reporting multiple offers on bank owned properties throughout the Bay Area. 

In the East Bay, Contra Costa County continues to lead in the number of properties entering foreclosure and being returned to the bank.

In Contra Costa County, the communities of Antioch, Pittsburgh, Oakley, and Brentwood continue to see increasing transaction activity as buyers looking for good deals and investors buy up REOs.

Alameda and Santa Clara Counties show a dip in foreclosures for June.

In San Francisco Count, the foreclosure figures are the lowest in the Bay area - almost a tenth of other Bay Area counties.

This is the time to buy a Bay Area home or to invest in East bay real estate. Convergent downward forces on home prices are most likely at their maximum right now. 

We may see further price erosion in some areas, but increases in interest rates will likely negate any savings realized by a further drop in price.

Additionally, buyer's negotiating power is peaking. Any improvement in any area will begin to erode the buyer's side of the negotiating table.

If you have an interest in foreclosures or bank owned properties in the East Bay communities of Alamo, Antioch, Brentwood, Concord, Danville, Dublin, San Ramon, Pleasanton, or Walnut Creek, CA - contact Craig (925) 984-4910.
