For aggressive investors and saavy buyers who have cash on hand or good loaning sources. It has been a long time since we’ve seen these kinds of deals. It’s time to make a move on these properties as once we start rebounding these numbers will be a thing of the past.  Economists are predicting that by 2010 we should be going back up to 2003 sales numbers…and if you can buy now and hold on for the ride (7-10 years) there could be some good money to be made.

The Price Banding Charts for Single Family Residences shows a whopping 32 sales in the $1Mil to $1.5 Mil category and 18 sales in the $750K-$1Mil Category.  These are the two hot targets when prices properties for sale and not just listing them in the MLS.
