MLS® Foreclosure Listings by Property Type

A foreclosure house can sometimes be purchased below the price of comparable properties, but a foreclosure is not automatically a bargain. The asking price may reflect the home’s condition, needed repairs, location and current market value, and competing buyers may increase the final purchase price. Detached foreclosure homes can be particularly attractive to buyers looking for renovation opportunities or properties with land, but the potential cost of repairs should always be considered when evaluating the price.

Detached foreclosure homes deserve particularly careful due diligence because the seller or lender may have limited knowledge of the property’s history and condition. Buyers should pay close attention to the roof, foundation, drainage, plumbing, electrical system, heating equipment, exterior condition and signs of water damage. It is also important to investigate building permits, additions, renovations and secondary suites to determine whether work was properly permitted. A professional home inspection, when possible, can help identify significant problems before you proceed with the purchase.

In many cases, buyers can arrange a professional home inspection before committing to the purchase, provided access to the property is available. An inspection can be particularly important when buying a foreclosure house because the lender or party with conduct of sale may have limited knowledge of the property’s condition and the home is typically sold on an “as is, where is” basis. Buyers should pay particular attention to major components such as the roof, foundation, drainage, plumbing, electrical system and heating equipment. Inspection opportunities and conditions can vary from one court ordered sale to another, so buyers should complete as much due diligence as possible before their offer becomes unconditional.

Yes. As with any resale house, a foreclosure property may contain renovations, additions or secondary suites that were completed without the required permits or approvals. Because the lender selling the property may never have occupied the home, it may have limited information about previous work. Buyers should not assume that an existing suite, deck, addition or renovation was legally constructed simply because it is already there. Municipal permit records, zoning requirements and other available property information should be investigated as part of the buyer’s due diligence, particularly when a secondary suite or renovated area is important to the property’s value or intended use.

Yes, foreclosure houses can generally be financed with a mortgage, provided the buyer and the property meet the lender’s requirements. However, financing requires careful planning because a court ordered purchase can eventually become unconditional before it is presented to the court for approval. Buyers should speak with their mortgage professional early, obtain appropriate financing approval and make sure the lender is comfortable with both the property and the court ordered sale process. The condition of the house can also affect financing, particularly if the property requires substantial repairs or is considered unsuitable for conventional mortgage financing.

Buyers should not assume that appliances, equipment or other items seen during a viewing are automatically included or warranted in a foreclosure purchase. The Contract of Purchase and Sale and the seller’s Schedule A should be reviewed carefully to determine what is included. Court ordered properties are commonly sold on an “as is, where is” basis, and the seller will generally provide limited or no warranties regarding the condition or operation of appliances, fixtures and other components of the property. If a particular item is important to the buyer, it should be specifically addressed when the offer is prepared.
