Hi Bart,

It would depend on what the foreclosed upon amount is not the loan balance. There is probably accrued interest and possibly there are other loans attached to the property. You would need to resesarch this further and if you are planning on going to the courthouse to try to buy it. You also need to know if there are any other liens attached to the property.

Good Luck!

Hi Aihan,

You don't say when the property was reduced...that will make a difference as to how to present your offer. If it's brand new construction, then maybe the builder is in trouble, or just trying to move unsold inventory and may be motivated further. If it is brand new construction, it's better for you as the seller won't be as emotionally attached to the property...they will just be looking at their bottom line, vs having an emotional attachement to the property. If you want to email me and have me do an analysis of what's on the market and what's sold in Century City, I would be happy to do so. You can also look on my website to pull up properties currently on the market in Century City.

Good luck,

I see a lot of realtytrac listings. Are they for real? Or a scam?

Jodie Francisco answered:
They are for real, but you have to be able to read the data, and understand that even though they are showing something as a foreclosure, the home may only have a notice of default filed on it, and that is just the first step in foreclosure. If you have a relationship with a realtor, they can pull the same information and get you homes that have an NOD filed as well as homes that have a NOT (Notice of Trustee Sale) filed which is the last step in foreclosure. I would strongly recommend having a realtor help you with this, as these sales are done on the courthouse steps, and often times you may not have the ability to inspect the home etc and once it's been foreclosed upon, the homeowner may destroy the home. I wouldn't advise paying for Reatly Trac, as you can get the information for free. Good Luck!
