1. Why buy a University Park home now? Has the University Park Real Estate market hit bottom?

Anyone in any market of any kind (including the stock market) will tell you it’s impossible to tell when a market has absolutely bottomed. They’ll also tell you that if you wait until the bottom is officially “found” you’ll be too late to get the maximum benefit.
The housing prices probably won’t DECLINE much longer. One indication of this? Many University Park foreclosure homes are now receiving multiple offers - some sell for $5,000 — $15,000 ABOVE what’s being asked! University Park Foreclosure home prices have declined to a price point that is approximately what the house would have been worth eight years ago! Interest rates are low now. The FED will have to raise interest rates at some point. The FED has signaled, “they won’t be going LOWER!” We’re in a “window” that won’t last forever. Our economy has entered an inflationary stage with rapidly rising prices for everything from gas to food to clothing. The prices for almost everything it takes to build a house are going up. As the replacement cost of housing rises, it’s likely the price of existing homes will stop declining, pause, then rise. Almost all the new home builders in the University Park area gathered together and agreed to stop building. This action will help to reduce new home inventories. The inventory of distressed bank-owned foreclosure properties will begin to decline soon. Banks are not in the University Park real estate business! The University Park homes on their books negatively affects their ability to lend money - the ONLY business they ARE in! The banks want the their vacant, deteriorating University Park houses GONE , as soon as possible!

2. How am I going to get a REAL STEAL on a University Park real estate foreclosure?

Our job is to facilitate that, but in gerneral terms: “NO PAIN, NO GAIN”? Banks DO NOT want to FIX or FIX-UP University Park houses! Most buyers don’t want to either! There is no real competition for damaged University Park houses, and that’s where the STEALS ARE!! So, if you’re willing to do what OTHERS will NOT do, YOU WIN! Your Foreclosure-specialist agent will help you quickly get bids on the work that needs to be done, so you’ll have a very good idea of what YOUR total cost to repair will be.

3. What if I don’t know how to or don’t want to fix-up a house?

There is another segment of the University Park home market that is still largely ignored! The other segment of the market where there are real STEALS? Big beautiful, wonderful, roomy, luxurious and delicious homes! Many of these have asking prices that are up to 50% off what they sold for, or would have sold for, just two years ago! Have you dreamed of having a pool? Have you always wanted a couple of acres with your University Park home? Would you like an extra garage? How about an extra small house in the back for a parent, or an attached casita? Maybe you’d like an office, a game room and, still have 3 bedrooms?

5. What’s the difference between a University Park Bank Owned, Forclosed, REO, and Repo home?

They are all essentially the same thing. When a University Park home goes into default, the bank takes ownership of it and then the bank puts the University Park home on the market. REO is the official term used by people in the industry and stands for Real Estate Owned (Repo stands for Repossesed).
