Bristol Parc Short Sales

It's always amazing to me the misconceptions people have about short sales, so let's air those out and discuss reasons why you may consider purchasing one of the Bristol Parc short sales.

First of all, let's talk about the deal. Short sales are considered distressed sales and are usually priced as such. Statistically speaking, foreclosures are better deals on average, but I've seen some absolutely incredible short sale deals. The reason why you can sometimes get a better bargain with a short sale over a foreclosure is due to the demand. People are attracted to foreclosures because of the price and they are a lot more straightforward than short sales. Therefore, the competition for them is much higher.

Time frames are the biggest single deterrant from people buying short sales, and it's very understandable. I'll be the first to tell you that short sales are not straightforward. Each bank handles their process slightly differently and each homeowner's situation is different as well. Was the home an investment property or was it owner occupied? Does the owner have a single mortgage on the home or multiple? Who is the bank holding the mortgage? These are all questions that can significantly impact your ability to purchase in a timely manner. If you need to be in a home within 30-60 days, looking at Bristol Parc short sales may not be your best route.

Finally, when considering purchasing a short sale, it is extremely important that you have a REALTOR who knows the right questions to ask the listing agent. Just like not all short sales were created equal, not all short sale negotiators were created equal either.

I will leave you with this complete list of homes for sale in Bristol Parc. I am happy to answer any questions you may have about the short sale process, or help you find the perfect home for your situation!

Bristol Parc Foreclosures

Just the other day I had a nice woman call me to ask about Bristol Parc foreclosures. She had found me online and was wanting more information on how she could take advantage of the amazing deals available in Bristol Parc. We have found the community to offer some very fantastic features for even more fantastic prices.

Here is the list of Bristol Parc Foreclosures. Don't worry if there are not currently any available, there are always great bargains on this list of homes for sale in Bristol Parc. That's the thing, the foreclosures that come on the market in Bristol Parc are not plentiful, but when they come, they tend to sell very fast.

You see, foreclosures are typically priced below market prices, because the banks want to get rid of them fast. Anymore, it's rare to see a foreclosure that sits on the market for 30 days. They usually go up and get sold within the first couple of weeks. Depending on whether you are an investor or someone looking to occupy your own home, can have a significant difference on the outcome.

Let me explain. Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae have both now instuted similar "First Look" programs. These programs are designed to create long-term stability in communities. Here's how they work: When a Fannie or Freddie foreclosure goes on the market, they DO NOT CONSIDER any offers on the property until after a certain period of time (usually 7 days). Once this time frame is up, they will consider offers for only owner occupied primary residents. This usually lasts until day 13 when everyone can have a 'look' at the home and their offers will be considered. So, for those of you who may have been intimidated by those cash investors out there, the playing field has really been leveled. Therefore, Bristol Parc foreclosures can fit your needs/desires just like it can for an investor, except in some cases, you'll have an even better chance!
