  Bank-Owned Properties and REO (FAQ) Search Properties | Free 7-Day Trial What is an REO? REO is an acronym for real estate owned and is industry jargon for foreclosure property repossessed by banks or lenders.

• Local Market Perspective: Cape Coral, Fla.
  
  The opportunity to own a home at affordable prices has never been greater, but getting to the closing table is so much more difficult. Many of the best deals in our area are bank-owned properties. In our city, the bank has taken the property back but they may not have paid all the liens from our code enforcement and generally speaking that does not come up until the final title search is done, so a delay is normal.
