Below is the current report for Huntington Beach Homes for sale:

We are still seeing significantly more short sales in escrow than bank owned foreclosures or REOs indicating that short sales are still making up a large part of the market and that they are still taking a significant amount of time to close when they are successful. This affects the market in a few ways. Sometimes short sales are priced unrealistically and can have an effect on the values as seen by the buyers. Also, they can leave a glut on the market as the banks work through the short sale process. Of the homes sold in Huntington Beach in July, 29% of them were distressed, generally meaning they were either a short sale or an REO/bank owned foreclosure. This number is slightly smaller than in June as the number of foreclosures sold was down in July.  This may be as a result of the problems and delays of foreclosures over the past several months.

Huntington Beach is currently a seller’s market, just barely, though it has been a more balanced market over the past few months.
