HI Ali, every area is different. I guess from your zip code you are west coast. In Colorado Springs, bank REO's sell about 10% below market. You didn't mention whether you are using financing or all cash. That matters as well. If you are buying cash, you can get an even better deal. If you need help finding a good Realtor in your area to answer that question, let me know, I can help. REO's do sell for less because banks are in the business of loaning money, not owning real estate. Keep in mind that the inspection process is more expensive because the house is winterized. And, most important, banks will not make repairs. - Fri Feb 27 2009, 06:40
Our business thrives on referrals and doing business with people we care about. Could it be you haven't found a home in a few months because you are wanting to keep him in your life? Find a house and ask him to take you to dinner for a closing gift. See how things develop from there. - Thu Nov 6 2008, 07:24
The big problem I encounter is the delay in response from the bank. By the time the bank does decide to "deal", the buyer has already moved on to another home. The bank is also limited to certain guidelines. For instance, if the loan is backed by HUD, they have very stringent rules. If it is backed by VA, the rules are different. Conventional the rules are different. Unfortunately I am becoming a short sale expert so let me know if I can help. - Fri May 23 2008, 12:02
