71 San Diego Distressed Properties Found for Investors

Six New-Home Developments pulled from Market Q2, 2008

San Diego, California September, 2008 - As Southern California rides the storm of the new home market crisis, MarketPointe Realty Advisors, Inc. analysts went back to January of 2006 to identify projects whose initiative to complete their original plan didn’t come to fruition. In San Diego County, as of second quarter, 2008, 71 projects were identified as incomplete, or pulled off market, a total of 8,037 originally planned units, providing potential investment opportunities for new investors. “Although some developers may not want to have their distressed projects listed, by identifying the projects on the open investment market, it may provide them with an exit strategy, facilitating recovery”, remarked Russ Valone, President, MarketPointe Realty Advisors, Inc.
