In Los Altos Hills from Jan 1, 2012 until June 30, 2012 there were:

1 closed short sales

0 closed bank owned homes

Total sales during this time period were 45

Total % Short Sales: 2.2%

Total % REO Sales: 0%

Total Percentage  Los Altos Hills Distressed Properties: 2.2%

The low number of distressed property sales in Los Altos Hills is consistant with the other high prices neighborhoods in Silicon Valley. These areas are showing strong sales, good appreciation, and plenty of buyers with enough cash and income to purchase. Compared to the same time period in 2011 there were 2 closed short sales and 5 foreclosures with 52 sales for a total of 13.5% sales being distressed. 2012 is definatley different.

In Los Altos from Jan 1, 2012 until June 30, 2012 there were:

3 closed short sales

3 closed bank owned homes

Total sales during this time period were 192

Total % Short Sales: 1.5%

Total % REO Sales: 1.5 %

Total Percentage  Los Altos Distressed Properties: 3%

Again, we have a high priced neighborhood and almost no distressed property sales. Values are appreciating and there are more pople trying to buy homes than there are homes available. Additionally, there is very little new contruction before the crash, so there is not a big group of people who bought into a large development and are now underwater.

It's the beginning of the year so time for the round-up of last year's distressed property sales in Los Altos Hills. So here's what happened:

Single family and condo townhomes :

Total sales:  97

Short Sales: 4

REO:            6

Distressed sales as a percentage of total sales: 10.3%

Compare to 2010

Total sales:   81

Short Sales:   5

REO:            1

Distressed sales as a percentage of total sales:  7.4%

My conclusion:

The percentage of distressed properties in Los Altos is higher  2011 over 2010. 7-10% distressed property sale percentage is just beginning to affect values but I think there are other reason Los Altos Hills values are decreasing that are more important than short sales and foreclosures. The area is just not as popular these days as Atherton and Palo Alto are for the high end buyer.

It's the beginning of the year so time for the round-up of last year's distressed property sales in Los Altos. So here's what happened:

Single family and condo townhomes :

Total sales:  353

Short Sales: 4

REO:            3

Distressed sales as a percentage of total sales: 2%

Compare to 2010

Total sales:   354

Short Sales:   6

REO:            3

Distressed sales as a percentage of total sales:  2.5%

My conclusion:

The percentage of distressed properties in Los Altos is virtually the same  between 2011 and 2010. Also a 2-2.5% % distressed property sale percentage is not large enough to affect values. I think that while there may be a few more short sales this year Los Altos is so desireable and the employement rate is so high that the market should continue its strength.
