1,000 listings (2/3 foreclosure, 1/3 short sale)
On the Map • Single-family homes previously at ~$500k, now
selling at $160-$170k, below replacement cost
• Condos and townhomes are available for under
$100k, so investors can enter this market for
under $20k
• Since many families have lost their homes to
foreclosure, they are looking to rent and a rental
home does not stay on the market more than a
week if it’s priced correctly
• Buying for resale: don’t expect to be able to flip
these homes; there’s a lot of supply and the
market will remain soft for some time. Plan to
hold for at least 2-3 years
