So you've been thinking of taking that first step into home ownership.  You're hearing it on the news that it's a good time to buy as Real Estate market prices have declined. You know that you have decent credit, interest rates are still at historical lows, you're tired of throwing your money away in rent and you're just running out of room where you're at now. You know you want to get a good price for a home as everybody loves to get something "on sale" why pay full price when you don't have to!

Have you ever considered buying a home or a condominium /townhouse that has been foreclosed? Why would you want to consider this? Let's review why:

• First and foremost, you like to get things "on sale" and homes or condo/townhouses that have been foreclosed upon typically have attractive asking prices; you'll know at a minimum they'll generally be priced at fair market value or most often below fair market value.  "Why", you ask? This is because these properties are owned by a bank and a bank doesn't like to own property so quite often they're willing to price their properties to get them sold. What this means to you: "On Sale"
• Along with getting an attractive price, comes the possibility of instant equity without having to wait years to acquire equity.
• Maybe you're looking for a fixer upper. Many foreclosures offer great opportunities to those looking to put their touch to a home. Being able to get a home "on sale", you'll have extra money to put towards your ideas of the perfect home. You'll find that some foreclosed homes will need repair and will therefore offer you this chance to perfect your home.
