Ever Wondered?..... Buying Foreclosures in Houston

There are plenty of advantages in investing in the Houston foreclosures. This city is the largest in Texas, one of the top five states leading in the sale of foreclosure properties. In a poll conducted and analyzed on the basis of job opportunities, living conditions and economy, Houston was declared in the list of “best cities of 2010”.

The city has all the conditions that are required for housing a family. Houston has received awards for high business growth, innovative technical inventions and it is coined one of the best cities for college students to graduate in. The city is also known for trade and commerce and it ranks first in the United States. Thus for all those seeking for a living and a cheap house to support residing in the country, the foreclosed properties in Houston are the best ones you can look up to.

Foreclosure properties can be bought by partnering with your Realtor and bidding at auctions or by signing personal deals with lenders and distressed home owners. There are more than 10,000 properties you can choose from the foreclosure lists.  And the average price of these lie in the most affordable price margin of $100k to $200k.

2011 is a more favorable year for investing in foreclosures. There were too many foreclosure filings a couple of years back in the United States in as much as about 2.2% of the total housing units. But the number of properties that were foreclosed by the bank was very low. And the purchasers for the bank foreclosure homes were very low too. This indicates two trends. Too much of time is being taken for processing the bank foreclosure homes. Another thing is that the home owners are more willing to sell off their properties for high discounts to the potential home buyers than work out loans with their lenders or surrender their properties to the banks.

This facilitates buying foreclosures in two platforms. One is the short sale which the banks are adopting as a strategy to liquidate the clogging properties. Next are the pre foreclosures. By buying foreclosures through the above two grounds, one can sign high bargain deals. Make sure you have discussed exactly what you are looking for with your Realtor so that he/she can keep their eyes out for great deals!

Furthermore, if you have any questions about Houston Foreclosures, call me today and let's discuss them.  I'm never too busy for you or your referrals.
