Orange County Foreclosure Homes For Sale
Orange County has a steady supply of Short Sale and Bank Owned (Real Estate Owned or REO) homes. Many buyers here ended up with mortgages they could not afford after the bubble burst and/or their mortgage began adjusting. When property values flatten or start to drop and pick a pay minimum payment requirement rise, it becomes especially hard for struggling home owners to sell and pay off debt. For investors or home buyers, these market conditions have yielded great deals on a wide variety of properties. Short Sale buyers help struggling home owners get out of a tough financial situation by buying the property before it goes to foreclosure.

Bank Owned and Short Sale homes are commonly lumped together because they relate to foreclosures, but they are quite distinct from one another. Short sales happen before a property goes to foreclosure, while Bank Owned homes are sold after the home is foreclosed on and the bank or lender takes control of the property. Short Sales also typically involve the homeowner and/or their agent getting lender approval to sell below what is owned to the bank(s), while Bank Owned sales are usually direct negotiations with the lender and the real estate agent for the investor or potential buyer.
