Foreclosure


Welcome > For Buyers > About Foreclosure ...


Foreclosure defined:


The foreclosure process as applied to residential mortgage loans is a bank or other secured creditor selling or repossessing a parcel of real property after the owner has failed to comply with an agreement between the lender and borrower called a "mortgage" or "deed of trust". Commonly, the violation of the mortgage is a default in payment of a promissory note, secured by a lien on the property. When the process is complete, the lender can sell the property and keep the proceeds to pay off its mortgage and any legal costs, and it is typically said that "the lender has foreclosed its mortgage or lien".

Search Foreclosure types:


  • Pre-foreclosure – identifies homes on which lenders or other parties have begun the default against delinquent property owners.
  • Auction – identifies homes that have an auction date to sell the property as a result of a default and foreclosure related proceedings.
  • Bank Owned/Real Estate Owned (REO) – identifies properties currently owned by a bank, lender, or other financial institution due to a foreclosure-related proceeding.



Real Estate Tips
Making An Offer >Good Faith Deposits

After many months of searching, you have found your ideal house. You are a little older and a little wiser now, so you want to give the impression that you are serious without appearing to be too eager. What should you do? In the marketplace, "money talks."

There is no absolute rule about how much "good-faith" deposit you should put down--but it is a tool to make your point with the seller. The typical $1,000 will hold many homes for you, except in larger-home markets where it may be critical for you to show that you are an especially serious and able buyer. You don't want to make a deposit that is too large in case there is a problem getting your money back, but if your offer is substantially below the asking price, a larger deposit--$5,000 or $10,000--might influence the seller. If you make a low deposit with your offer, be sure to provide for an increased deposit when the offer is accepted or upon removal of the contingencies.
