There was a fast-paced home buyer workshop on Thursday evening, July 17th held in our office. Don and Leslie talked about the crazy stuff going on in our economy but pointed out 2 articles from the front pages of the Ventura County Star (Sunday) and the Wall Street Journal (Thursday) about the sudden surge of first time home buyers and investors in the real estate market. We showed print outs from our Blog of the stats of homes in escrow indicating the price of homes is starting upward and the number of homes going into escrow is skyrocketing in certain areas. We also covered the meat and potatoes of the loan and the purchase offer.

On Saturday, about 6 cars caravaned to 9 different bank owned, foreclosure homes in Ventura in 90 minutes. We went inside condos and single family homes ranging from the low 200s to low 400s. One person said, “At first it was really fast, but I like it”! Stay tuned to our next home buyer workshop and REO caravan!
