The banks seem to be having a problem evaluating their real estate holdings. They packaged many properties together and it’s so complicated for the smart guys to figure out. Well, it’s not too hard when you take a single property and run the comps (market value) and take a look at tax records (assessed value) and go 30% to 50% below that. That’s what you should be buying a foreclosure for in a normal market but since it’s not normal, the foreclosure tip today is to find out if a property is priced appropriately against the value of other homes. If the foreclosure is priced normal retail – think twice about submitting a low ball offer – you’ll be wasting your time until the lenders price properties what there really worth – I guess when smart people lose money they go dumb too.
