If you are facing a pending foreclosure call a local real estate professional and determine what types of opportunities you want to pursue. Your options will depend on your particular situation.

Texas is the largest state in the continental United States with population pockets in and around its major metropolitan areas as well as spread out over a state that is larger than the entire country of France.

The foreclosure rate in Texas is slightly higher than the national average and is exaggerated because of its unusual development patterns due to a series of Booms and Busts that have spiked and dropped such industries as oil, dotcoms and real estate.

Most foreclosures in Texas occur in the Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio and Austin. These cities also represent the largest and most densely populated metropolitan areas of Texas which is the common denominator between all foreclosure pockets.

Q. Does this mean that people in these areas don't pay their bills or that there are no jobs in these Cities?
A. No, this is because these Cities are the most densely populated in the entire state of Texas, concurrently the higher the population the more mortgages and the more foreclosures.

Q. Does the high number of foreclosures mean that people have given up or are leaving the state of Texas in droves?
A. No. Texas, partly because of its business friendly tax policies creates population surges whenever a new industry gains traction. Texas has the distinction of being the home of 58 of the businesses listed on the Fortune 500.

Q. Does this mean that the average cost of a home in Texas has lost more of its value than in other places?
A. Very likely. People are more likely to let their home go to foreclosure and walk away the higher the percentage of lost equity and the more upside down they are on their mortgage.

Q. Why would Texas be affected by a higher number of properties losing their value?
A. Texas has been called the California of the south with its warm weather and friendly people which create migration from other states with colder climates. People move to Texas nearly 5 times more often than to states in colder climates.

This transient population and influx of new citizens into Texas keeps the cost of homes relatively stable until something such as the mortgage crisis occurs.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest.

The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered.

VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale.

This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments.

Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
