Foreclosure and Short Sale Success

Friday, March 12th, 2010 at 2:16pm. 2454 Views, 0 Comments.

Looks like we are finally going to see some warmer weather. This is welcome news.  I'm not sure I've seen a winter this severe in my 21 years living on the Gulf Coast.  Hope everyone is planning a Beach Getaway soon. 

 Before I discuss ways to be successful buying Foreclosures and Short Sales, here's a brief summary for 2009. There were 1,460 total foreclosures and 4,210 Notice of Default, the latter being a 168 percent increase over 2008.  What's interesting is the dollar values.  Total foreclosures amounted to $383 million and the Notices of Default have a market value in excess of $1.3 billion so there's plenty of Bank inventory coming in 2010.  This appears to be grim news until you realize that in January alone over $114 million in property sales…

What I find most interesting is the difference in the number of recorded Foreclosures and the actual Notices of Default (2,371).  Just this number alone will double the total of all foreclosures in 2008. If on average 300 new notices of default are being sent each month, we can easily…

Fingertips and Foreclosures

Welcome to my first blog and our new site for Edgemon Properties.  I hope both prove to be helpful in bringing the most relevant real estate information your way about the Alabama Gulf Coast.

As everyone is well aware, times are tough with cash and buyers scarce.  Well with little demand and tremendous supply only one result is certain: price pressure.  This price pressure equals a market full of foreclosures, properties close to foreclosure and other sellers just willing to get out at almost any price.  How do we identify these distressed properties and find these values?

This is actually quite easy, but first requires some handy tools which are at my fingertips with the use of today’s technology and the vast information open to the public domain. …
