Now is a great time to buy a home with selling it in the future in mind. Prices are now down to 2004 price levels for real estate in Vancouver Washington. For the shopper who is willing to wait and look for a deal now is the time to search for your next home.
Vancouver Wa Foreclosures.
There are incredible deals to be had in foreclosures in the surrounding areas like Camas, Washougal, Battle Ground, Ridgefield, La Center and Brush Prairie. There is a lot of competition in competing with others looking for these deals so you must have a game plan. The first is to get yourself setup on a complete MLS search with automatic daily feeds of foreclosures like that can be found at Homes For Sale Vancouver Wa. Check your email daily and if a new foreclosure comes up that meets your criteria then you need to look and make an offer that first day. The house offer will probably be at or above asking price by the foreclosure bank. This is for properties where the bank has underpriced the home.
If a foreclosure home has been on the market for awhile then the best way is to make an offer 10%-20% below asking price and negotiate with the bank until they settle on a price that makes the property a good deal.
Location, Location, Location=Union High School, Camas High School, Skyview High School
Find good neighborhoods close to I-205 or I-5 for easy commute to Portland and you can’t go wrong. The best high schools right now are Union High School, Camas High School, and Skyview High School. Finding homes that feed into these high schools, that are in good neighborhoods with quick access to I-205 or I-5 and you will have a winning location which is one of the most important considerations in Real Estate.
Short Sales around Vancouver Wa.
There are great deals to be had with real estate short sales if you are willing to wait and search. I’ve seen great deals on new homes in Vancouver, Camas, Washougal, Battle Ground, Ridgefield, La Center and Brush Prairie areas with short sales. The only problem is that you have to wait 2-6 months to find out if you get the house for sale. When the bank and home seller say yes though, you could be smiling your way to the bank with your new found piece of real estate.
