In the past, bank owned homes and foreclosures were sometimes avoided by buyers and their agents for reasons like being less likely to do repairs on their properties, and taking longer to respond to offers. Now, foreclosed bank owned homes are some of the best deals out there. With foreclosure levels so high and prices still falling, banks are more ready than ever to make a deal.
Here are a few good reasons why foreclosures are a good deal right now:
