Where to find the best deals on foreclosures
Our analysis of nationwide foreclosure property sales in the last seven months shows that while some areas of the country documented a plethora of properties in foreclosure and big savings on foreclosure purchases, other areas reported relatively low foreclosure inventories and smaller average savings on foreclosure purchases. All five of the states with foreclosure markets most favorable to buyers and investors reported annual foreclosure rates of more than 1 percent of total households along with increasing foreclosures in 2005. It’s important for buyers and investors who are interested in the foreclosures market to carefully evaluate local market conditions before diving into foreclosures in any given area.

Short sales rising
Scanning the Southern California Multiple Listing Service (MLS) last week, the one thing that stands out is the growing number of short sales. Last year, you rarely saw the phrase “short sale” in the MLS property description. Today, approximately 10 percent of the listed properties are short sales. That indicates lenders are getting more eager to unload properties in foreclosure, even if it means selling them for less than is owed on the mortgage. Short sales occur when home prices fall and mortgage debt exceeds the value of the property.

Extreme' Dream Gone Bust
ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition came to the rescue, demolishing the Harper’s old run down home with a faulty septic tank and replacing it with a 5,300 square-foot, two-story dream home in Lake City, Georgia. When the show first aired back on February 20, 2005, the home was the largest ever built in a week by the show. Still, for a potential homebuyer or investor looking for a newer property in a suburb of Atlanta, this is probably one of those properties that will go back to the bank as an REO. Three years ago Patricia and Milton Harper received a gift courtesy of reality television.
