Lots of foreclosure activity in the Lompoc homes market. Compared to the beginning of the year in 2011, there was a 52% increase overall. Average list price and sales price are still declining, with the average sales price declining 7.5%. Days on market stayed flat at 90 days in the Lompoc real estate market; however, short sale bank approval is surely affecting this number as inventory continues to be low in most Central Coast markets and activity swift.

Are you a military veteran looking to buy a short sale home with a VA loan in the Lompoc, CA area? Short sales can be excellent bargains, and they also offer some relief to the VA buyer who may be experiencing difficulty purchasing a bank owned or REO listing in the competitive Lompoc foreclosure market. The first thing to keep in mind when buying a short sale property is that there are a lot of contingencies involved, and using VA financing can add to those contingencies. So, some short sale agents will advise their client to take a conventional, cash, or FHA offer before a VA offer because they view those loans as easier.
The first half of 2010 has been pretty dramatic with the $8000 federal tax credit extension and the introuction of the $10,000 California new home and first time home buyer credit. Buyers were on a roller coaster with the first two months having moderate activity, then a blaze of acvtivity in March and April followed by low activity in May and June. Overall sales for the 6 month period were high with 553 properties being sold in the Santa Maria Orcutt area.
