Today I previewed one of the Clear Lake foreclosures in the Meadowgreen subdivision.  This home is listed for $145,000, is a little over 1,900 square feet and includes a pool.  A lot of people are excited about the possiblity of buying a foreclosed home.  Maybe you're one of them.  Everybody's looking for the best deal, aren't they? 

One thing to keep in mind about a foreclosed home is, if the homeowner couldn't make the payments, then they weren't able to maintain the property either.  Frankly, some deals are good.  Some aren't so hot.  The one today?  Well, it ain't on top of my list for the Better Homes and Gardens Get it Sold show.

This one needs all flooring replaced, completely painted in and out, most of the siding on the garage needs to be replaced as well as the garage door.   The pool pump and motor have seen their day and will likely have to be replaced too.  In addition, the range top in the kitchen has been removed and the oven is original.  The home has the original yukky wallpaper that was popular in those days.  The roof has been replaced at some point, however it appears there may be some water stains on the ceiling in some areas.

Homes in Meadowgreen sell between $125,000 and $170,000.  Recently one sold that was in excellent condition, included a pool and a roof that had been replaced just last year.  It sold for $147,500.  Again it was in move-in condition and even the flooring had been replaced this year.

Look at your budget.  Is the purchase of a home draining your cash?  If so, you might want to consider something that has all the work done so that you don't have to spend your weekends running back and forth to Lowes.  On the other hand, if you have the cash, it can be a great way to purchase a home and have it look like YOU want it to when you're done.

Consider financing.  In this new world of mortgage lending, getting a loan is tougher than ever.  And it's changing on a daily basis.  For example, legislation has been introduced that would increase the current 3.5% down payment on FHA loans to 5%.  Now that might not sound like much but on a $150,000 home, that's an increase of $2,250 in upfront costs.  This may come about as early as next month.

The Clear Lake Homes  market may be down 12% this year, however the
the Meadowgreen neighborhood has held steady with 34 closed homes
through October 31st, 2009.  Strangely enough, there were exactly
34 homes sold during that same time frame last year.

Meadowgreen house prices remain relatively stable with an average
sales price this year of $148,657.  This compares to $149,297 last
year.  The average days on the market is just under 2 months compared
to 64 days in 2008.  No big change there.

The number of foreclosures in the area is unchanged as well.  2 of the
34 homes sold in Meadowgreen this year were foreclosures.  Same for last
year.  Clear Lake as a whole in the last 12 months has had fewer than
3% foreclosures. 

Homes in Meadowgreen did sell closer to their listed price last year
at a 98.6% list to sales price ratio while the figure this year is
97%.

Currently there are 11 homes for sale in Meadowgreen; 2 of those are
under contract.  That lines up well with the Clear Lake homes market
now as approximately 20% of the homes for sale here are under contract.

Meadowgreen homeowners may want to take advantage of the $6,500 tax
credit available to families who elect to buy another home.  Homeowners
must have owned their home for 5 years or more to qualify.
