With Raleigh foreclosures continuing to rise, this dark cloud too has its silver lining. With foreclosure homes for sale increasing, property prices across the country are declining.
Sales too, have continued to dip. Until now, that is. Out of the 33 zip codes in Shelby County, Raleigh’s 38212 saw an improvement in sales in 2nd quarter of 2008, as compared to the 2nd quarter of 2007. From 212 sales in 2007’s 2nd quarter, sales in the 22d quartet this year were reported at 219. This is a 3.3% rise in sales. This trend could well be an indication of things to come.
With the housing bill passed on 07/30/2008, people intending to buy their first home will have an added incentive to do so. A clause in the bill provides first time home buyers a loan of up-to $7500. This interest free loan is given as tax credits and the borrower will get fifteen years to pay it back. The first payment however, is not due for the first two years.
Looking at foreclosure homes as an option is not at all a bad idea. There are perfectly good houses that are part of the Raleigh Foreclosures. These houses would normally sell for lesser than houses in the vicinity that are not involved in foreclosures.
Foreclosure homes can be bought at three different stages of the foreclosure process. During the pre-foreclosure process (though the home owner), at court house auctions, or finally, when the lender repossesses the house, then through the lender.
Home owners would choose to sell their houses to avoid foreclosure. Even though a buyer might think a very good deal for the house is being struck, it might not necessarily be so. One must inspect the property thoroughly to check and see if repairs are needed. Through public records, one can also find out about arrears on the property in the form of unpaid taxes, besides the existence of other loans been taken out on the property.
Buying a foreclosed property does present itself as a better option to many, with no prior fiscal matters to be looked into.
First offers made on foreclosure houses are usually not the final offer. Bargaining is the norm.
