At the end of the repo road a house gets new life

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Here’s to long-time renters Ken and Diana Tate and their newborn son, among the first families to buy a Sacramento foreclosure renovated with federal stimulus funds.The couple paid $117,000 for a house near Fruitridge Road and Highway 99, and moved in two weeks ago.

The Housing Group Fund, small-scale local builders, remodeled the house, and SMUD turned it into a energy efficient model demonstration project.It’s a tiny piece of the $3.9 billion federal Neighborhood Stabilization Plan that sent $32 million to Sacramento County earlier this year.

The Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency contributed $86,000 from the allocation to bring back a house nearly destroyed on its way to foreclosure. Said Diana Tate at a ribbon cutting marking the accomplishment Thursday: “It’s been a long time coming.”

In another moving scene, husband Ken said they’d looked at houses for a year.  ”We finally finished the race,” he said.

Here’s a look at the ribbon cutting held in their front yard:

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

Irvine-based real estate auction giant REDC said Monday that it sold 133 capital-area and Northern California homes for $11.5 million at its Saturday auction at the Sacramento Convention Center. That comes out to about $86,000 per house.

 Spokesman Rick Weinberg of the Real Estate Disposition Corp. said the lowest price was $30,000 received for a house in Stockton. It original housing boom high: $290,000.

The highest-priced house sold Saturday was a 3,418 square-foot giant in Santa Rosa for $714,286. It last sold for $1.1 million.

Weinberg pointed to a couple of Sacramento examples, too:

3324 Felham Way sold for $126,000, 72 percent off its housing boom high value of $450,000.
6408 Calvine Road sold for $73,500 – also 72 percent less than its original high.

REDC says it’s auctioned 19,000 houses nationally so far this year – for $1.3 billion.
