The bad news is that opportunities for easily purchasing a property at the very bottom of the US market are gone. This isn’t necessarily making front page news in The Times but statisticians and reporters tend to print yesterdays news.

There are two fundamental market forces at play. There is the “real market” which comprises 90% of existing US residential property. This stock may have lost significant value in the last few years but it is neither distressed nor foreclosed and the vast majority of it is not for sale.

The other, temporary market is the “distressed market” which completely undermines all efforts of the real market to sell surplus stock. This is because the “distressed market” as you will guess, is comprised of foreclosed and distressed property from banks and developers.

This market is the only show in town as far as bargain hunters are concerned, and it is our knowledge of the main players in this market and the process by which we help clients purchase, tenant, maintain and resell these assets that makes Torcana.com stand out from the crowd.

Kind Regards
