Description

This home is a Real Estate Owned (REO)/Post Foreclosure. Once a lender has foreclosed on a property it is soon put up for public auction. If bids fall short of the asking price the bank will buy back the home and attempt to sell it on the open market. However, lenders are not real estate agents, meaning that they will often accept offers significantly below market value!
1451 E 18th St, Des Moines, IA 50316 is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1,096 sqft single-family home in M.L. King Jr. Park, built in 1949. It last sold for $87,000 on Dec 8, 2020. It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $190,100, with a rent estimate of $1,372/month.
