I have been searching for a home in oakland CA because I heard of the high foreclosure rates, but it doesn’t make since that you could buy a home for $3,000.

What are the real prices of these homes?

Those look like they might be redemption prices, how much was not paid. Foreclosures sell for about 90% of fair market value.

Without addresses it is hard to tell what the real prices are, but I will see if I can find an example and post it.

edit:

That took me awhile. They are pulling default notices and calling them foreclosures. Those homes are not for sale at all and have not been foreclosed on. The owners are late paying their mortgage, but that is the extent of it.

I found one real foreclosure, http://realestate.aol.com/foreclosures/Surrey_Ln-Oakland-CA-94605/4.32112323

However they are saying it is only 459,146 when the actual list price is $599,000

Listing the default notices seems to be a lure to get you to pay for information that is actualy free.

I was browsing through these listings and I came across some foreclosures that seem to be priced at a too good to be true price. Should I buy these or is there a catch?

The amount listed is the amount on which the current owner is deficient in payment. The house will be sold at public auction, and the MAIN bidder will be the lender involved, who will bid the price up to a point at which it will accept. If no one bids high enough, the lender will be the high bidder, and will take the property as lender owned.

Don’t expect to get it for just over $9,000 unless that is all it is actually worth.

but just a few minutes ago i was sent an email saying one of my saved home listings had been updated. i looked to see what home.. and there i was the house that was hopeless to get.
i researched it on another website and there it was….
im trying real hard not get my hopes up.

do you think the home is actually for sell again?
this seems to be a sign that this is supposed to be MY home

also me and my boyfriend make about 3000 dollars a month and dont have much debt do you think we can afford a 88 thousand dollar house? we both have pretty good credit scores also

i sure hope this isnt some sort of glich and my house is really gone.

There may have been family problems too so that the house couldn’t be sold until all the heirs agree. All I can tell you about buying a house, is that you don’t want to get too enthused so that you inspect it very very carefully and be sure it is worth the $. Have all the right inspections done and look for damage and check out the neighborhood. $3000 is not a lot of money when it comes to home ownership. They cost a lot and there are always repairs and some can be extremely expensive. Be sure you don’t get in the mess so many others are and buy something you really can’t afford. Anything can go wrong in your life like lose your job, have health problems, bad car wreck and then there is the weather problems like hail damage, tornadoes and hurricanes and all of that. Be sure you have enough $ to tide you over a pretty good time . . .like six months saved up and then a good savings account for when the house needs fixing, and then a tidy down payment. Without all of that, don’t buy a house. Nothing is worse in a relationship than to be short of money so that you have to constantly worry about how you are going to pay the bills and then you want to have enough to have some fun and you need to be saving on a regular basis. Plus you are moving in with no commitment from your bf. What happens if you break up? Protect yourself very carefully. . .always. . . .Good luck!

I was searching for homes for sale (not rent) and this is one of the listings that came up. Can someone please help me understand…

I think someone entered the data wrong into the database. They probably left off 2 zeros (thinking they were "cents"). $350,000 is probably the actual price.

As for the rest of the web page — that is all automatic HTML or PHP code that calculates the rest of the (very low) numbers.

.

The foreclosers are in the MLS, listed as REO. Have your agent print you up a list.

Is it "realestate" in my email address or the embedded links to real estate listings?

Also, it appears that if I have a EMail witha WORD file attachment and EMail to a client with Yahoo Email address, then it goes to the bulk folder, while a file without an attachment goes to the InBox.
Some people that request I send Email to their Yahoo EMail address can not figureout how to view the bulk folder and/or always accept EMail from my EMail address.

No one knows exactly how Yahoo decides on what is spam. It would defeat whatever system they have if the answer got out. Adding an address to your contacts list is supposed to override the spam filters. Many business emails now even tell customers to do that.
