The real estate market has experienced a new trend in the past few years which has led people who are either first time buyers or investors of real estate to invest their money in foreclosed properties and repossessed homes. This has on the one hand given a negative impact on the property prices and had a positive impact on the number of deals being increasing for foreclosure and repossessed homes.

Foreclosure is a serious problem where the borrower is asked to vacate the property by the lender when the borrower of the home loan is unable to pay back the loan amount. The lender by exercising his mortgage right sells the property for recovering the loan amount. The period when the property is vacated and lying with the lender for sale, it is called as a repossessed home. Repossessed Homes are gaining popularity for the cheaper rates offered and latest property styles being put up for sale. The sale process can be through and auction or a direct sale.

The foreclosure process involves seizure of a property from a borrower who had taken loan and could not pay back. The lender after such action advertises in the newspaper or internet and auctions the property to recover the loan amount. The highest bidder in the auction is given the property ownership and money is transferred from the new buyer to the lender.
