HudHomeStore - the new HUD system

So now hudhomestore.com has been with us for a few months and it looks like some of the bugs are starting to get worked out. When HMBI had the M&M responsibilities for HUD Homes in Indiana, there were at most about 700 HUD Homes available at any one time in the state. Now there are about twice that number with over 1300 Indiana HUD Homes currently available.

There was a glitch early on about bidding deadlines. But they appear to have that worked out.

Here are a few cautions to remember when using this site to locate a HUD Home in Indiana. You enter your search criteria. And then it gives you results - ten at a time. So right now if you were to search on the entire state, you would get 10 results by default, page 1 of 133. But you can have it display 20 results at a time.

So the logical thing to do is to narrow down the search. If you search by county it willl display all of the results in that county - well maybe most of the results in that county. There are several homes where the county field is left blank. For example, if you search on a HUD Home in Avon, Indiana, you will 13 matches. But only one of those HUD Homes shows being located in Hendricks County. 12 of them leave the county blank.

There are a few mis-spellings of Indianapolis. So if you spell it correctly you will show 302 matches, but leave out a handful where Indianapolis is mis-spelled and it will leave out the one listing where the city is listed as Speedway. So if you are looking for a HUD Home in Indianapolis, watch out. And if you are looking for a HUD Home in Noblesville Indiana, there is one listed as Nobelsville that you might miss.

If you are looking for a home in Fort Wayne, you will find 79 listings. But if you are looking for a home in Ft Wayne, there will be 7 listings. Hmmm.

We try to take the mystery out of buying a HUD Home in Indiana. If you are looking for a HUD Home in the Indianapolis-Carmel Indiana area, we can get you a list of HUD Homes sorted in zip code order. So that makes it easier to narrow down, even if the name of the city is misspelled or the county information is missing.
