Foreclosed properties are everywhere now. If you are just at the very beginning of your search process you can check the auction websites, websites of different lenders and check out the local papers for the news on foreclosures. If you want to spend extra money you can pay for some subscriptions on short sales and foreclosures and get the listings e-mailed to you. This will give you a general idea of the market trends, terms and average pricing. When you start getting more serious about buying a home or an investment property, you would need to make your search more specific. It is very important to know, that foreclosed homes are sold as-is and they differ in condition (from poor to excellent) and types of loans they can qualify for. So, it would be necessary to talk to your lender about what type of loan could be the best for you. It would help you to focus your search on the properties matching your loan type. Some people enjoy the trill of hunting for a home on their own - going to Open Houses (very few are held for foreclosed homes) and negotiating directly with the listing agent, participating in auctions and bidding on homes! Other people prefer talking to friends and relatives and buy a home relying on their opinion. In my experience it might take buyers a year or two to search for a home through web, Open Houses and driving through the neighborhoods looking at different homes. Then, when buyers HAVE MADE A DECISION TO BUY and have talked to a lender, they look for an expert opinion and designate the search for home to realtors - people who spend 24/7 working with different properties: inspecting them, comparing the data, checking tax records, listing, leasing, selling, buying and renting. At this point searching for homes in buyers' market takes from a few weeks to a few months. Then it might take another 30-45 days for a loan to close (depending on the loan type). And you will be a new homeowner! Congratulations! The delight of buying real estate during the buyers' market is in the fact that buyers can use all the helpful market resources available to them including realtors' expertise and they do not have to pay for it at closing: the realtor's commission is paid by the seller and additionally a lot of buyers get closing cost help from the seller, including sellers of foreclosed properties. All the best, June!
