REO vs. Bank Foreclosure in Pleasant Grove, Utah

An REO (Real Estate Owned) is a home or property that goes back to the mortgage company after an unsuccessful bank foreclosure auction. Most PG Bank Foreclosure auctions do not even result in bids and the lender in first position buys them back. This often results in clearing the second loan on the property. After all, if there was enough equity in the property to satisfy the loan, the owner would have probably sold the property and paid off the bank. That is why the property ends up at a foreclosure or trustee sale. Between 2007-2011 around 25% of the homes in Pleasant Grove, Utah were bank foreclosures.

If you buy a PG Bank Foreclosure at an auction the minimum bid includes the loan balance, any accrued interest, plus attorney’s fees and any costs association with the bank foreclosure process. In order to bid at a bank foreclosure auction, you must have delivered a $5,000 cashiers check prior to bidding and pay the balance in cash within 24 hours. You receive the property in “as is” condition, which may include someone still living in the property. The buyers at these auctions are often the middle men that fix the home up and resell it in the existing market. You can buy a home at auction but you must have the cash. You must also know what you are doing and have nerves of steel.

Since what is owed to the bank is almost always more than what the property is worth, very few foreclosure auctions result in a successful sale. Then the property “reverts” to the bank. It becomes an REO, or “real estate owned” property. There may also be other liens against the property. Buying a home at the auction can be very risky. If you know what you are doing and have cash it can be profitable.

A bank owned property might not be a great bargain. Do your homework before making an offer on a home or condo. Make sure that the price you pay is comparable to other homes or condos in Pleasant Grove. Keep your comparables in nearby neighborhoods. Consider the costs of renovation, including time to complete them. Don’t get caught up in a ‘bidding war’ and pay over the real estate market value. It’s an old myth that “foreclosures” are a bargain. Many buyers overpay for a Pleasant Grove Bank Foreclosure at an auction and get a bag full of risk.
