It’s no surprise that any newer developments in the Santa Clara County as of the past 5 years are going to experience a high number of Short Sales and REO or Bank Owned properties. Rivermark in Santa Clara is no exception.
Rivermark is a master planned community developed in 2002 by Lennar, Centex and Shea Homes encompassing over a 1500 single family and town home units. Also around the Rivermark development is the Miraval Homes Luxury condo development and Mission Gardens single family homes, townhomes, and condo’s.
Many of these units have resold in the last few years since their initial releases, leaving some home owners at peak prices resulting in short sales and no opportunity to refinance.
Currently in the Santa Clara Rivermark location there are 14 condo short sales and 1 bank owned condo. There are no single family short sales or REOs at the moment.
A good portion of these short sales are in the Miraval Condominium Complex. Miraval is a Luxury condo complex providing nicely appointed units with great amenities in the complex. Currently there are 5 short sale units for sale in Miraval. One bedroom units starting at $280K and 2 bedroom units at $400K.

As you can see single family homes rarer in Rivermark have held up very well so var with all the market pressures.
