Learn About Buying Wilmington NC Foreclosures

By: Meghan Riley

Like various other cities, Wilmington, NC, has experienced a rise in foreclosures and, consequently, foreclosure sales. The recent recession has forced several homeowners into a position where they can no longer honor their mortgage payments. Consequently, the banks reclaim the homes and list them on the market to recoup their losses.

Foreclosures are regularly priced twnety to thirty percent cheaper than other homes on the market in the same community. Purchasing a Wilmington, NC, foreclosure home can save buyers a considerable amount of money. While foreclosure homes are typically sold "as-is", this doesn't equate that they are in terrible shape. Foreclosed homes can be comparable to other homes in the same neighborhood in the matter of features and square footage.

Knowing when a foreclosure is a favorable deal can be difficult. There might be repairs that need to be done and knowing which ones are deal breakers might not be very transparent. Additionally, submitting an offer to purchase on a foreclosed house can be complex. Banks have many demands that can appear confusing to house buyers. Hiring a Realtor, who is familiar with foreclosures and knows how to communicate with banks is very valuable. Doing so will cost you nothing, because the bank pays the Realtor commissions.

While foreclosures can be opportunistic for house buyers, opportunity warrants patience. Banks manage many foreclosures at once and there are several stages of approval. It's not unheard of for offers to take 3 months to be processed. So, if you cannot manage purchasing a home before selling your current one and/or you do not have plans for a temporary place to stay, you will presumably want to purchase a non-bank owned home.
