How many sellers are there out there that have their home listed for sale but their home has an asking price that is way to high. In my market probably 70% of homes listed for sale have an asking price that is to high.

Why are these homes listed to high? For many reasons, 1. the sellers don't have to sell because they are not in a hurry to move. 2. They owe to much on their mortgage and thus have to get more than the house is worth but do not want to do a short sale. 3. They think there house is special so is worth more than the house that sold down the street.

4. The owners put a new roof on it or just painted it or some other upgrade that does not add any value to the home, a home has to have a roof, the fact that you just put a new one on that cost you $10,000 doesn't mean that you get to add that to the price of the house.    There is a great 20 minute DVD that should be mandatory viewing for all sellers and their agents before the price of the home is set. If you would like a copy of this DVD go to Pricing Your Home to Sell and order a copy. If you are an agent order a couple of copies and lend it to the owners of any home you are getting ready to list. After the owners watch this video they should be ready to price their home to sell.

Foreclosed Homes Montrose Colorado    Contact Alan Brown  970-209-8436

Here is a list a list of Foreclosed Homes in the Montrose area that are currently listed for sale. This list is constantly changing if you would like to receive an e-mail everytime Foreclosed Homes in Montrose come up for sale contact me to be added to the list.

If you would like to see a list of all homes currently in various stages of foreclosure go to the Montrose County web site Public Trustee  it requires that you have excel spreadsheet capibilities in order to view the list. The homes you see on this list are all in the process of being foreclosure. The sale date you see is the date that the lender usually gets the home legally back in their name. However on the sale date you can go to the courthouse and bid on the homes up for sale.

Usually on the day of the sale the lender gets the home back for what they are owed because the home is usually not worth more than the mortgage owed plus all the interest, penalties and attorney fees. After the lender receives the home back it can then take another 60 to 90 days before the Foreclosed Homes are listed for sale with a real estate company. The only opportunity the public has to buy a foreclosed home is either on the sale date at the courthouse or when it is listed for sale.

Here is the current list

726               S 7th                       $98,000

12253          64.50 Rd                $119,900

220              N Stough                $124,900

69495         Hwy 50 E                $162,900

611             Silver Dr                 $174,000

877            64.18 Rd                 $224,900

16146       67.40 Rd                 $259,900

20866       Trophy Rd              $280,000

3177          Silver Fox              $284,900

1553         Windsor Way        $425,000

Will the mortgage company/bank take less for Foreclosed Homes ?  Usually they will negotiate some on the price, however every 30 days they have their Real Estate agent do a new  evaluation based on the homes that have sold and the ones that have come up for sale in the last 30 days, so the price that the home is listed at is fairly close to the market value. Here is a great article from the Wall Street Journal on Foreclosures and short sales.  Are distressed homes worth it?
