One in Four 2nd Quarter Home Purchases Was A Foreclosure

FYI ........ I really doubt if any town has a list of preforclosure ... the closest your going to get to that is .see if they give to access to all property taxes .look for the ones that arn,t being paid ..even that isn,t really good .

as far as foreclosed deeds // many sellers don,t record right away / not like a conventional sale where its recorded the same day .

I have a property that is in deposit & the buyer is hot to close early . I contacted the sellers attorney << which to make it more of a PIA is in another state . The paralegal told me that they hadn,t recorded yet >>>>>>>>>>> and many times the sellers attorney is not the same attorney that did the actual foreclose . So when paperwork is f $%^&*( up . there usually isn,t a direct souce to go to to get it straight.

By law they have to advertize it 3 straight weeks in the local paper .
it gives all the information except what is owed on the property .
If your planning on attenting the actual foreclosure / where the property is open for bids .......called the attorny,s office early that day .......many times they are put off or a time/date change ;;

good luck

Besides my above post that was more of a hijack/rant. Like Duke said talk to your real estate agent. And if you don't have one it seems there are a couple on the site. They will email you every foreclosure or short sale in your range everyday for free. And like Clammer said the advertised ones are put off to another date more than 90 % of the time. Once a FC is published, alot of the times the people will file chapter 13 and buy more time or work out a modification with their current lender. So it would make chasing a public record a nightmare. Talk to a pro. They will help for free and would love your business.
