Bank Owned Properties

Bank-owned properties - also referred to as real estate owned, or REO - are foreclosed assets owned by a lending institution that were not sold during the foreclosure auction process.

The lender then agrees to re-value the property at an amount that recoups their foreclosure loss but encourages a sale.

Why Buyers Should Consider Bank-Owned Properties

Lenders want to move these properties fast, so they often discount them below market value. Bank-owned properties can also be great for first-time buyers because they can come with a number of guarantees, like a clear title, title insurance, and confirmation of the property’s occupation status.

Other Benefits of Bank-Owned Properties for Potential Buyers

  • Properties are typically sold as-is, which can be great for buyers looking for a high-value fixer-upper.
  • Vacant properties may be visited via an open house or private tour before an auction.
  • Bank-owned properties can often be financed in addition to an all cash purchase.
