Erie County Foreclosure/Bank Owned/REO Market Report – November 2011

There is much interest in purchasing homes that are Bank Owned, are short sales or are foreclosures.   Many times consumers think that they get the best deals purchasing homes in this status.   There are no guarantees and yes some people get some great deals, while others have many unexpected expenses.

When you buy a foreclosed home, you’re cashing in on a home or investment someone was no longer able to pay for. Foreclosures are difficult–both to locate and to execute the transactions–but the potential to turn them over for a tidy profit may be there for the savvy Western New York buyer.
