Distress Sales
& Foreclosure
Hot Lists

Foreclosure house buying is an attractive option for real estate investors in the current economic scenario. When foreclosure properties come onto the market, they are usually auctioned off relatively inexpensively due to a default of payment from the homeowner to their bank or may be priced lower due to other factors, such as a distressed sale.

Foreclosure listings can be a great opportunity for those looking to acquire property at a discount. Reasons for foreclosure can range from bank default payments to distressed sales due to other reasons. Regardless of the cause, foreclosure sales allow investors and buyers to purchase properties that may not otherwise have been available on the market. Buying these foreclosure properties is beneficial because they are typically priced lower than similar properties in the same area and offer individuals or households the chance to build equity in their homes more easily or move into desirable neighbourhoods for half of the cost. Despite this, it’s important to proceed cautiously when purchasing foreclosure due to structural issues that may come from previous ownership and a lack of access to inspections prior to closing.
