Paso Robles ForeclosuresPaso Robles Foreclosures If you are looking to buy Paso Robles Foreclosures, there are a few things you should consider when searching and buying.  When a home owner no longer pays their mortgage on their home, the bank will go into their foreclosure proceedings.  This usually takes several months and the home owner may be given an incentive to move out called "Cash For Keys".  For Paso Robles Foreclosures,  once the home is vacated, it will come up on the market as a "REO" (Real Estate Owned) or bank owned property.  The banks will usually list Paso Robles Foreclosures below market value because the home is being sold "as is" and they want a quick sale. Right now, there are only 19 Paso Robles Foreclosures that do not already have offers on them.  We get new for... 01/23/2012

Paso Robles was hit early and hard by the economic issues dogging the state and this county, but it is in the midst of a strong recovery. Flooded with REOs and short sales early on, the inventory has steadily decreased and well-priced homes are receiving multiple offers in some situations. At the moment, judging only by the housing inventory, the Paso Robles area has actually entered "sellers' market" territory. The asking price has steadily decreased, steadily approaching the actual sales price, which is another sign of a developing sellers' market. Finally, the price per square foot has held remarkably steady over the past twelve months: It looks like the market in Paso is poised for a hot spring and summer in 2012, which is great news for sellers. 12/13/2011

Not if I have anything to say about it! The FBI reported a jump of 71% in mortgage relief fraud investigations from 2008-2009, and expects this number to have grown in 2010.  That's why it's my duty to educate homeowners in my community on the cautions they need to take, and what the government has recently done to protect you from unscrupulous individuals and companies who want to take advantage of their desperate situations.  What you need to watch out for if you are looking for mortgage relief assistance: 1.       Upfront fees-just don't pay them! In fact, they are now illegal! 2.       A request to sign over your deed (this only spells trouble) 3.       Lots of paperwork without the opportunity for review 4.       The claim of government-affiliation These are just a few red flags yo... 05/16/2011
