LOUDOUN COUNTY HOMES FOR SALE - FORECLOSURES AND NON-FORECLOSURES. 

Compare the value difference between the foreclosure and non-foreclosure property listed for sale in Loudoun County. 

The difference in price for many listings, foreclosures vs. non-foreclosures is about 1/3 for similar size and amenities.

FOR AN AGENT THAT USUALLY SHOWS AND SELLS NEW HOMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, SHOWING FORECLOSURES IS AN ADVENTURE.  What surprised my buyers was the value represented in the foreclosure listing.  Similar square feet, lot size, location, amenities.  $200,000 difference in list price.

I met with a new buyer couple today and we toured homes in Lovettsville and Round Hill, Virginia.  The homes are very similar in size and floor plan.  The difference is primarily condition.  House #1 has no kitchen appliances. 

COMPARE THE TWO PROPERTIES.  THE FIRST IS A FORECLOSURE, THE SECOND IS NOT. 

HOUSE #1. $439,900

3,677 Square Feet plus unfinished basement.   No appliances, needs paint,
