Volunteer Group Works to Keep Murrieta Foreclosures Looking Good

The Murrieta Community Cares group continued to work on Murrieta foreclosures in June, completing yard clean up on 96 Murrieta bank owned homes. This dedicated group of volunteers works regularly to keep Murrieta foreclosures neat and tidy while waiting for buyers. What started as one woman's effort to pick up trash while she took her morning walks has become a city-wide effort to preserve the quality of Murrieta's fine neighborhoods while homes wound their way through the long and sometimes tedious Riverside County foreclosures process.
Volunteers pick one home per week, usually working on Saturdays, to clean up front yard debris, mow lawns, trim hedges, pull weeds and clear trash that has been left in visible front and side yards. After they clean up the yards, local neighborhood groups "adopt" the Murrieta foreclosures, helping to maintain the groups' efforts until the home sells.
Clean Murrieta Bank Homes Sell Faster
Their efforts have not gone unnoticed by buyers either. Clean Murrieta bank homes sell faster than abandoned or neglected ones. After all, if the pricing is comparable and home amenities are the same, who wouldn't rather buy a home with a well maintained front yard instead of an overgrown, debris-strewn mess? The Community Cares group is actively working to find both Murrieta foreclosures to clean and volunteers to keep the properties in good shape until the foreclosures process is complete.
Here's what the Community Cares Group will do:
Clean up is limited to front yard area
Clean up includes removal of yard waste
Works with lenders to obtain permission before working
Has partnered with the City of Murrieta for trash bins at no cost
Utilizes neighborhood volunteers
Perfect for high school students looking for community service hours

Murrieta foreclosures led Southwest Riverside County home sales during the month of July according to market analyst MDA DataQuick. Nearly 1,000 homes changed hands last month and the experts at Oak Tree Realty Group Murrieta put the numbers in perspective.
Buyers of Temecula foreclosures may have less competition from first time homebuyers in the coming months, thanks to a plan by the City of Temecula to complete 110 half-finished condominiums and turn them into affordable housing apartments for rent. The team at Oak Tree Realty Group Murrieta offers insight into the plan.
