Located 95 miles northeast of Los Angeles, with convenient access to the 15 Freeway and Highway 395, Victorville is poised for the most profitable of comebacks when the real estate market recovers from its slump.The combination of easy commuter freeway access and scores of lovely family sized homes make Victorville very desirable for the new family, or anyone looking to upsize or downsize their domicile.

The city of has three public school districts which collectively govern fifteen high schools, nineteen middle schools and thirty-four elementary schools.

Whenever considering a home purchase, and especially in the case of potentially purchasing a bank owned property, the assistance of a licensed real estate broker is always advisable as the purchase parameters in foreclosure situations are different than that of a privately owned home. In addition to bank owned property, many properties are subject to bank approval in what is known as a ”short sale” situation. This is where the owner of the property is not in foreclosure, but is willing to sell the property for less than what is still owed to the bank. This type of property sale is becoming more common place, as banks and mortgage companies are trying to reduce the number of outright foreclosures.

In some cases, agents are seeing bank owned properties on the market that have been stripped of all copper plumbing lines, and aluminum siding. These properties are a rarity in the Victorville area, but are not unheard of. While the purchase price many foreclosed on homes in Victorville may seem like the deal of a lifetime, there can easily be tens of thousands of dollars of required repairs before the property will be certified as inhabitable. Your real estate agent will be able to secure pricing for required and proposed upgrades to the property and give you a reasonable approximation of how much the property will actually cost you before you can move in or use it for rental property.
