Local Market Perspective: Lake Havasu, Ariz.
With our beautiful Lake and hot summers, we are considered a vacation and second home community. My last seven sales have all been bank-owned homes, with over 171 contacts from my RealtyTrac source. Unfortunately, what folks hear in the news, for the most part, does not apply to Lake Havasu; with it being a second home community, people from out of state are not jumping on the buying wagon since their present homes, which are up for sale, are still not selling.

If a short sale doesn’t work, it eventually becomes a bank-owned foreclosure. Scanning the Southern California Multiple Listing Service (MLS) last week, the one thing that stands out is the growing number of short sales. Last year, you rarely saw the phrase “short sale” in the MLS property description.
