Find a truly good deal on real estate often means much more than simply buying for the best price. While cost is certainly part of the equation, buying homes with the best potential for future value as investments is just as important. A lot of people are talking about how today's housing market is buyer oriented because property values, and thus prices, are low. But with the future of the market uncertain, there's no way to ensure that your investment will have the potential for growth any time soon, and that's why buying homes through foreclosure listings makes so much sense.

Foreclosure listings are guides to properties being sold at auctions and other special sales by mortgage lenders looking to collect debts through the proceeds off the sale. However, homes sold through foreclosure listings often go for far less at auction than they ever would on the open market, and buyers usually find savings of anywhere from10 to 50% below what they would pay for the same home on the open market. These properties are usually in great condition, and need very little work before they're ready to be resold or lived in.

The bottom line is that buying homes through foreclosure listings is the best way to ensure investment value, since buying below market price earns you instant equity. And there's no better time to get involved. Over 2007, the national foreclosure rate rose nearly 60%, with many regions doubling their inventories. This has led prices to fall even further, and with 2008 expected by many to be one of the biggest years yet for foreclosure, it's a great time to buy.

Try getting started by just checking out some foreclosure listings in your area with a search on a service like ForeclosureListingsNationwide.com. ForeclosureListingsNationwide.com offers a lot of great perks, and has lots of information and advice to get started buying in the market for the best values possible.

Small is Beautiful
By: Carol Freyer | 06/10/2008
One major bonus of Shafer's homes is the low cost of heating. Heated with propane, his own home—a smaller model—costs him $170 per year to heat, and that's in Iowa, where winters are winters.
