Santa Cruz house prices a great deal for buyers in March
Posted May 4, 2009 @ 2:17 pm, Viewed by 425 Visitors, Read 443 Times.The Santa Cruz home prices when viewed from last years perspective. There are some great deals out there now. While prices are down, sellers with competitive prices are selling. I am finding in many cases for the homes in the Santa Cruz, Live Oak area that are around $500,000 are in many cases having short market times and multiple offers. While these home are generally bank owned homes or short sales, which can be found on my site, they provide an opportunity for someone to move from renter to owner with these great interest rates. Many buyers are surprised at this surge in market activity and start to realize that they need to be aggressive in their pursuit.The market has changed.
