Just 70 Bank Owned Homes Listed!
Bank owned home at Griffin Ranch, La Quinta
People ask me everyday about our local real estate inventory. And I tell them that our local desert inventory continues to shrink. That said, real estate is local and varies from community to community and certainly by price segment.
Here’s an interesting fact. As of this moment in time there are only 70 bank owned homes listed in our market at $200,000 or higher! The luxury market is even tighter as you’ll see only 14 homes listed at $500,000 and up.
Here’s the list of bank owned homes for sale (live MLS feed subject to change). A direct link to bank owned home listings is also available direclty on my website in the right side links under “Featured Communities And Listings".
PS: The above photo shows one of my top REO picks for this month.

Our Buyer & Seller Clients Win Another Award!
Over 400 agents are affiliated with Keller Williams Realty here in the desert, and yesterday was the annual Keller Williams awards extravaganza. For the second consecutive year, my associate and I were presented with the award for being the number one small team in the desert. We transacted more business than any other small team (3 agent team members or less) by a factor of two to one.
We Accept This Award On Behalf Of Our Clients
While awards are cool, I feel that this award is really all about our clients. As two of the busiest agents in the desert, we visit more properties in more communities and work at negotiating more transactions for our clients than the vast majority of agents. We feel that our being busy can result in a smoother and more profitable real estate transaction for our clients.
So the real winners of our #1 award are our clients. Congratulations and thank you!
