Another REO Property Sold in North Babylon NY!

By
Real Estate Agent with Douglas Elliman Real Estate in Babylon NY

165 Emerson Avenue N. Babylon NYAnother REO Property Sold in
North Babylon NY!

This REO property in North Babylon NY is a 7 room Colonial with 4 large bedrooms. The master bedroom has a full bath. Also has a 2 car garage and an in-ground pool!

Located in the Poet Section of North Babylon NY.

Sold for $328,000 and the buyer's bank appraiser appraised it for $350,000. Yes, my buyers got a good deal!

The bank who owned the home actually finished the hardwood floors before putting it on the market. Very smart!

I have to say that this is my second buyer who bought an REO property and the experiences have been positive. No major issues.

With REO properties, a deep title search must be done. It is called a title chain. Research needs to be done thoroughly to make sure the buyer doesn't have problems in the future when it comes to owning the home. You don't want a former owner coming to the door stating they still own the home. This is why hiring a real estate attorney who is experienced with REO properties is essential.

My buyers couldn't be happier! The Poet Section of North Babylon will be getting a very nice family moving in!

That's great the buyer got it below appraised value.  An instant boost in equity is a nice Christmas present!

Hi Mark, thank you! I'm in my 3rd year of real estate full time. It's been fun too!

Hi Bryan, I thought so too. But, I had a feeling it would appraise for at least $340K. Hearing $350K was even better. They are going to fix it up on the inside since they want it the way they want it. New kitchen in the works as we speak. My buyers said they will have me over for dinner once they are done.

I bet the song "Home for the Holidays", as sung by Karen Carpenter was playing through your head during this closing.  Any North Babylon buyer looking for a hassle free foreclosure transaction would be wise to call you.

Hi Chris Ann, Actually, it wasn't, lol. I'm just glad they are happy. I doubt I will ever see a great deal like this again. The home just needed esthetics even though they are going to redo the kitchen. Very rare to see an REO property in this great of condition. Thank you Chris Ann!

Jackie, like I said in your latest post "...buyers should be able to get a good deal if they are willing to do a "little" work...".  Congrats on the sale of this home in the Poet Section of North Babylon.
