Oakland and Emeryville Foreclosures for Sale
Redfin regularly adds new features to the site. Today I’m excited to try out the “foreclosures” checkbox on the search page. I simply checked “
house” and “condo” under “Property Type”; then checked “Bank-listed foreclosures” under “Include”. In the search box I typed “Oakland” and voila: I pulled up 167 foreclosures for sale in Oakland (and some strays got in
as well with a couple Berkeley, San Leandro and Emeryville properties to boot). I went through the list to find good picks; in the end I picked by neighborhood since most of the properties do not have photos listed. One thing I noticed that seemed odd: many of the foreclosed properties were recently sold and then put right back on the market (for example, see 2459 E 21st St., which is listed as being sold in March 2008 only to be on the market now). Others sold for $1000 and then were put back on the market such as 2901 MacArthur Blvd. #301, a 2bd/1ba condo listed for $273,000. What gives there? Let me know if you have any insight to this phenomenon, thanks!
