Search Central Valley Homes Get Help Finding a PropertyWhat Is a Foreclosure Property?
A foreclosure property is a home or other real estate involved in a foreclosure process after the owner has defaulted on a mortgage or another secured loan. Depending on the stage of the process and how the property is being sold, buyers may encounter foreclosure properties, bank-owned homes, REO properties or short sales.
These properties are not all sold in the same way. Purchase timelines, financing considerations, inspections, disclosures, property condition and offer procedures can vary. Buyers should evaluate each property individually and complete appropriate due diligence before purchasing.
Foreclosure vs. REO vs. Short Sale
The terms foreclosure, REO and short sale are often used together, but they describe different situations. Understanding the difference can help buyers know what they are looking at when searching for distressed real estate.
Foreclosure
A property involved in the foreclosure process following a mortgage or other secured-loan default. The exact sale process depends on the property's status and applicable procedures.
REO / Bank-Owned
REO stands for Real Estate Owned. An REO property generally refers to real estate that has gone through foreclosure and is now owned by a lender or financial institution.
Short Sale
A short sale occurs when a property is being sold for less than the amount owed to the lender, with the lender's approval generally required before the transaction can proceed.
How to Buy a Foreclosure in California
Buying a foreclosure or REO property can be different from purchasing a typical resale home. A careful approach can help buyers understand the property, its condition and the requirements of the transaction.
Identify the Property Type
Determine whether the property is a foreclosure, REO or bank-owned property, short sale or another type of distressed property.
Understand Your Financing
Review your financing and purchase budget before making an offer. Property condition can sometimes affect which financing options are appropriate.
Review the Property Carefully
Distressed properties may need repairs or improvements. Review available property information and complete appropriate inspections and due diligence.
Research Before Making an Offer
Review available disclosures, title information, property history, seller requirements and other information relevant to the purchase.
Develop an Offer Strategy
An appropriate offer depends on the property's condition, market value, competition, seller or lender requirements and other transaction-specific factors.
Complete the Transaction
Once an offer is accepted, the transaction proceeds through the applicable contract, financing, title and closing process.
