Santana Row Bank REO for Sale

The Margo building has a great opportunity for a 1 bedroom + den loft unit facing the East Foothills. 1,099 square feet, nice kitchen, very good condition. The parking at the Margo building is preferred over the DeForest building because you have direct elevator access to your floor from the garage. This unit is now bank owned and a very good value at $499,900. Now at this price, I expect over asking price offers which is very common these days on bank REOs. The banks or their listing agents now understand that sub-market pricing brings them fast sales. Call me to tour this great unit.

Happy Thanksgiving - Time to Remember and be Grateful

After a year of wonder, a year of gut-wrenching markets, trials, tribulations and more.... please everyone take the time to reflect and be grateful for what we have. Look around. Sometimes they don't appear evident - There are people who care about you, people who support you, carry you through the hard times, sometimes even without recognition. Thank the guy who cleans your office, your mailman, the receptionist at the front desk (as nutty as Corrine may be!) - thank your parents (I wish they are still alive) your siblings, your children, friends and any other loved one, here or there, alive or passed on. All these people make up the world that YOU live in. Everyone needs a hug and a short word of acknowledgement. Time to smile on them as they have been smiling on you this whole year. So, hold hands this Thanksgiving and be happy to be here, amidst all that we have.

If you want to give back in a great way today - please click on the link for Team in Training to help in the cure for Blood Cancers: http://pages.teamintraining.org/sj/lavatri09/jpham My good friend is running a triathlon to A. have a better butt and B. to support the research. Please give what you can. Thanks All!!! :-)

Mervyn's Bankruptcy Leases for Sale

One of Mervyn's greatest assets is the leaseholds it has in prime retail locations in Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Texas.

The fast approaching bid deadline is currently scheduled for December 5, 2008. For sale are 154 leases in the 6 states. A couple Bay Area leases are highlighted below:

375 N. Capitol, San Jose, 70,000 sqft, through 2020, rent $9.85 per year

Campbell BANK REO - good deal & no offers

There is a well maintained single family home in Campbell that is a very good opportunity. I showed it this weekend and as of yet, there are no offers on it. This is rare for a bank owned property. The other few homes I showed this weekend all have multiple offers being reviewed. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, quiet street, 1100 square feet, new kitchen, nice floors, etc. Perfect rental house, perfect started home. Call me to tour right away!

Deals require urgency

I have been showing some great condos, townhouses and single family homes in the last few weeks in San Jose. The bank owned properties are out there in good numbers and mostly priced very well. This great inventory is also paired with a fleet group of buyers who know good deals when they see them. And low and behold, a day or two later, active listings become pending sale listings. The deals are out there yes. To get them though, you must act efficiently. Whomever buys a home in the San Jose area this year will be very happy in years to come. If you want some help sourcing great homes and making offers, give me a call. My track shoes are on!

Very nice 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo I saw yesterday in South San Jose. Bank owned and very well priced at $157,500. Compared to many bank owned properties, this one is clean and well-kept.
