Wakefield MA Foreclosed and Bank Owned

Purchasing a home at a foreclosure auction has many risks to a potential buyer and in most cases the bank will bid and take possession of the property at auction. The property is then referred to as bank owned, REO (real estate owned) or foreclosed property.

A home owner may attempt a "short sale" whereby the bank agrees to accept less than the mortgage balance based on the owner's hardship and financial status. Obtaining approval can be a long and difficult process. Additionally, there is no assurance that the lender will accept an offer at or above the listed price.

Bank-owned and short sale listings are often marketed with a real estate agent and placed in the Massachusetts Multiple Listing Service (to ensure full market exposure).

With all the news saying "no one is going to get a mortgage" and me having to defend the Real Estate market each and every day because of this, I am proud to say Wakefield, Ma Real Estate is #7 in the United States. This rank was reported by Business Week and then went on to all the local newspapers. A gentleman from Business Week called me personally for an interview about why Wakefield is doing so well and what draws home owners into our town. The poll was taken nationally based on the number of days properties spent on the market. Wakfield was the only town within Massachusetts. Of course just because compared to other cities Wakefield is doing well, it is still not at the top of its game and naturally prices are still down. But I consider this a good thing because it gives buyer the good deals they deserve. As far as the people who are reporting no one is going to get a mortgage than I ask why do I get flyers daily from banks offering very good loan packages??? So yes, the economy is in a slump, but I am trying to do my part to keep my town afloat.
