Trustee Sale after Deed in Lieu

Posted by Peter in CA on June 23, 2009 at 1:00 AM

I bought a property today at a trustee sale.

The last regular sale was 2006, with 80/20 financing - both with New Century Mortgage. Buyer gets Grant Deed, New Century 1st and 2nd trust deed.

Buyer defaults (not sure when)

In 12/2008, US Bank gets the TRUSTEE's deed from the buyer (well, from the trustee, actually). I thought it may have been a deed in lieu. I need to check the documents again. The recorder office said just 'Trustee's Deed'.

6/2009: The trustee sells the property on behalf of US Bank - to me.


Two issues:

1) Original purchase price was 628k, with 1st ~ 500k and 2nd ~ 128k. The transfer in 12/2006 lists a value of $325k.

My guess: 1st and 2nd combined were 628k and with late fees, 650k. US Bank buys bad mortgages for 50c on the $ from New Century, thus the number of $325k.


2) Why does the new owner (?) - US Bank - use the instrument of a trustee sale? Why don't they sell through the MLS instead? They paid $325k, FMV is $430k and it should sell within 30-40 days. Property is in very good condition.

My guess: US Bank needs the $ ASAP, or they worry that a traditional sale won't fly because of the unclear title situation???

What do you think about my guesses? Thanks for reading, and also my compliments, this is a great forum. I just discovered it last week.
