Foreclosure Properties Offer Bargains For Home Buyers
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008Some may think it is not right to benefit from another’s misfortune, but the market for foreclosure properties has always been high. Even in tight credit markets, being able to buy a house for about two-thirds of its value is a strong attraction to real estate speculators as well as private individuals looking to buy their first or second home. Typically, foreclosure properties are sold at an auction operated by the county sheriff, and cannot be sold for less that two-thirds of its appraised value.
