9/5/2011 Foreclosure Buying Tips
AFTER A THINNING INVENTORY THIS SUMMER - it appears that we will have more foreclosures coming.  Here are a few tips if you are thinking of buying a foreclosure or bank owned property:Some things you need to know about buying a foreclosure: 
  1. Alabama has a 1 year right of redemption law which, as your realtor, I can explain in detail and it is not as scary as it sounds. I can also refer you to an experienced foreclosure attorney.
  2. Virtually all foreclosures come unfurnished. Many may be stripped of appliances or fixtures.
  3. They vary widely in condition from poor to excellent but are generally sold in as is condition making a home inspection essential in the due diligence process.
  4. Terms of sale vary based on the bank selling the property and/or any third party asset management companies assisting the bank in the sale.
  5. Some foreclosures (Fannie Mae, for example) require a 7-14 day waiting period for investor offers giving the advantage for purchase to owner occupant purchasers.
  6. Generally, banks and their asset managers price the property to sell quickly. Be ready to make an offer. Have your cash ready or your financing in order. Often, a property will receive multiple offers and sell quickly. Plan on providing proof of funds or financing approval with your offer.
  7. Banks have no emotional ties to the property and operate based on numbers. They tend to not accept or counter any offers less than 6-10% off from asking and will play the list and reduce game if not sold in 60-90 days or less. They will periodically reduce the price until the property sells.
  8. Some local or smaller banks may not be in the position to price the property competitively enough to sell in this market.
