I see this is an old question, but still relevant, it is one of my FAQ. When looking on the internet foreclosure lists many times that low amount is the past due amount and not the sales amount, of course it depends on which parts of the country you are looking at. Some big cities and areas hit hard are indeed selling $5000. homes to get them off the books and hopefully in "rehab"
Of course the new owner will have to spend thousands more to make the house a home you could live in.
