The Dublin Unified School District is placing Measure L on the ballot in November for Dublin residents to vote on a $96 parcel tax (seniors citizens and disabled persons can elect to not to be a part of the tax). Measure L is intended to…

“To support high academic achievement in math, science, reading, writing, and technology; attract and retain highly qualified teachers; maintain small class sizes; and provide ongoing teacher training, shall the Dublin Unified School District levy $96 dollars per parcel annually for five (5) years with an exemption for seniors and disabled persons, an independent citizens’ oversight committee, no money for administrator salaries and all dollars staying in our community to maintain a high quality education.” DUSD.

This is a hot topic - See the Around Dublin Blog post from Sept. 28th. Measure L Parcel Tax.

Many home owners are concerned over how Measure L will affect their home values.

If you want a Short Sale in Dublin, we can find 40. If you want a Foreclosure in Pleasanton we can find 11. If you want a Foreclosure in Blackhawk, we can find 2, sorry. Good luck finding these types of homes in Orinda, Alamo or Diablo, they are near impossible. Flip side, if you want a foreclosure in Antioch, 47% of homes for sale are your choice. So why the drastic change in numbers? Read my post Is Your Home Convenient for some answers.

Buying a Short Sale in Dublin or a Foreclosure in Pleasanton is a lot easier than you think, but buying a Short Sale in Dublin or a Foreclosure in Pleasanton is not as easy as you think?? What, I’m confused too. While many people see buying foreclosures here in our area the thing to do, there are good and bad items to consider when buying a Short Sale in Dublin or a Foreclosure in Pleasanton

Allow me to explain…

Why Buying a Foreclosure in Pleasanton is Easy

• Clean Title (bank paid everything off)
• Good Prices (banks dont like holding homes)
• Easy to See (nobody lives there)

Why Buying a Foreclosure in Pleasanton is Hard

• Need Work (not all, but be prepared) Example 1687 East Gate Way
• Multiple Offers (remember, prices are good)
• No Disclosure (bank doesn’t know what went on in the home)

Why Buying a Short Sale in Dublin is Easy

• Motivation (time frame is short before it goes to foreclosure)
• Pricing (Seller needs to sell before bank steps in)
• Condition is Better (Generally, the sellers are taking care of the home)

Why Buying a Short Sale in Dublin is Hard

• Sloooow Response Time (could be a 3 months plus to get lender approval)
• Multiple Offers (Again motivation sets pricing)
• Foreclosure Hits (if it takes too long, the bank could foreclose while in contract)

Overall, if you know what you are doing then buying a Foreclosure in Pleasanton or Dublin can be a great opportunity. A Short Sale in Dublin could be a great bargain.
