Bargain sale is up! The real estate industry is, undoubtedly, one of the most affected sectors with the recent world economic crises. In fact, its effects has trickled down to almost all aspects in real estate, from property purchasing, financing and most especially paying of monthly amortizations. In fact, this has caused a number of families to vacate their homes due to non-payment of amortizations. Consequently, properties are being foreclosed. However, the a family’s misery of losing a home due to foreclosure might be another family’s gain or joy since he can directly acquire such property at a lower cost. Thus, the bargain sale of foreclosed properties.
Foreclosed properties are real estate pieces whose payments are intermittently paid on default which caused the mortgage lender to obtain a court order for termination of the mortgagor’s right of redemption. Foreclosed properties, usually, is 5 – 10 % lesser value of the market price. Foreclosed properties can either be classified as the foreclosed unoccupied new property and the foreclosed occupied property.
Foreclosed property are those with default payments and the mortgage lenders are forced to seize the property and will soon be open for re-sale. Since these are already occupied properties, resale of such, usually starts after the mortgage lender is able to obtain a court order terminating the sales contract, which automatically opens it for sale in the market. Often these properties are in downgraded state, than that of new properties because of prior occupancy. The properties, usually are due for minor or major repairs which usually is charged to the prospective buyer. With its current state, a depreciated value should be reflected in the new selling price. Hence, a relatively low price is pegged for the property.
The foreclosed unoccupied new properties, on the other hand, are those pieces which were left by their real estate developers since they were not sold within the developmental loan period. Hence, they are left unoccupied and unsold. These properties are its brand new state and thus, if there are any, only minor changes are just required. The physical state of these properties are similar than that of newly-constructed properties. However, market prices of these properties are also marked-down from that of its original price.
Indeed, the purchase of foreclosed property seemed to be very attractive due to its marked down package prices. However, the acquisition process might be complicated.
A buyer must initially search for a foreclosed property advertised in newspapers, classified advertisements, real estate advertorial announcements and calls for bidding from housing institutions and the like. It is suggested that a buyer must at least have five (5) short listed homes to select from. Each of the properties short-listed must be visited and inspected by the prospective buyer. The personal visit will give the prospective buyer an actual feel feel and sight of the property under consideration. The visit will also allow the prospective buyer to personally appraise the valuation of the property in consideration. Once everything is in place, now comes the documentation of the sale to allow the transfer of ownership to the new owner. The documentation process is a detailed procedure as this entails legal impediments if not keenly observed. Hence, in this final step, a prospective buyer is advised that he consults with a legal practitioner to assist him in the transaction.
Foreclosed properties are indeed bargain pieces where prospective buyers can actually take a pick. However, each one is cautioned to carefully examine and appraise the property in consideration to get the best bargain deal.
