What Happens When a HOME is ABANDONED?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Godzyk Real Estate Services NH License 033394

The riddle is what happens when you abandon your home in the winter in New Hampshire and it is only found and secured in the summer? Have you ever wondered about a home you see every day with the over grown lawn? Why did they leave? What will happen with this home? Well... In the last months Banks have sure stepped up the Foreclosure process on abandoned home. Most people wonder but not many people get to see inside. As a Leading Listing Agent of Bank Owned homes here in the Manchester NH area I am one of those lucky ones.

In New Hampshire with a cold winter pipes freeze in no time in a home without heat. In spring when the pipes thaw, you get water, lots of water which soon soaks into the walls, ceilings and floors. Not long you have mold. Please enjoy my photos of this upscasle home recently found.

Home Owners, if you find yourself behind in your mortgage, walking away is not the answer as you are still responsible until the bank takes possession. There is help and it is easy as picking up the phone. You can sell it through a short sale and get cash and assistance to relocate. You can lessen the impact on your credit and help yourself to move forward. If you are in NH, you can also call me, i can walk through the options with you and assist you you in any way I can.

Hi Scott - It's always sad to see photos like that or to actually show a home in that condition, and it's way more common today than it should be. And you're right that it doean't have to happen that way - there are alternatives that make a lot more sense for everyone.

Homes that have been vacant for a long time give me the willies.  I don't like to think about all the things that have started to age prematurely, or the things that are wrong that I can't see.  Thank goodness you can see mold like this.

Mark I was lucky or unlucky enough to be flown down last December to meet with Asset managers in Florida and got to see homes in similar condition. It is never nice

Thanks for sharing your photographs.  Spring and summer REO purchasers need to be prepared for mold damage.
