According to a recent report, resale of homes in Denver for the month of September this year, as compared with September last year, have increased by over two and a half percent; and in comparison with June this year they have gone up by over five and a half percent.

This could now see a further rise because of the housing bill’s provision for 1st time homebuyers. They could get up-to $7500, thanks to the bill. Provided in the form of tax credits, this interest-free loan would have a pay-back time duration of fifteen years. That would put the annual amount to be paid at $500. Besides, the 1st two years would not require a payment.

Buying foreclosure properties, as seen by many, is a very feasible option. As compared with properties not involved in the process of foreclosure, they are known to sell for a
lesser amount. Currently, there are a fair amount of homes that have been involved in Denver Foreclosures.

Fair amount of research should go into the process of buying foreclosure properties. Lists can be found with banks/lenders, real estate agents, in newspapers and on the internet. The internet is home to a large number of listing services that have properties listed according to geographical locations.

If dealing with a bank/lender, one should remember that the property has reached the bank/lender only after it did not sell either at the pre-foreclosure stage or at the auction. This does not mean that there is something wrong with the home. It could simply mean that the total money owed on the property in the form of the original mortgage, property taxes and other loans on the property did not make it viable for buyers then.

With the title of the property with the bank/lender previous dues on the property are not a concern as they are taken care of by the bank/lender. Also, a fair amount of money has to be spent in keeping the house looking presentable. Foreclosed properties in the past have known to sell for considerably lesser than their real estate market values. Counter offers made by the buyers are often considered.
