Quick Statistics: Los Banos & Patterson Sales in 2008-2009 – Foreclosures & Short Sales
The cities of Los Banos and Patterson are located in the Central Valley of California off of Interstate 5 in Merced County and Stanislaus County respectively. If you are not from the area, but you have traveled through California along I-5, chances are you have at least seen exit signs for both Patterson and Los Banos. I have appraised many properties in both cities over the past year and I figured I would throw up some quick and informative data as an FYI. The data below is based upon the past twelve months of sales in MLS for single family residential detached properties.
