Foreclosed Homes Listings Pile in to Henry County GA at 39% Lower Price

Foreclosed homes have been nearly fully loaded into the Henry County housing market. Foreclosure listings prices are posted far below market median prices, according to latest foreclosure trends study from RealtyStore.
 
Dec. 23, 2010 - PRLog -- Santa Barbara, CA --- A foreclosure trends study for Henry County, Georgia shows 27% of all homes for sale in the county are foreclosure listings. RealtyStore (www.realtystore.com), the nation's premier source of local residential foreclosure listings and data, performed the study. RealtyStore's data analysis revealed 803 foreclosures, or REO properties, recorded in Henry County, and of the total foreclosures, 798, or 99% are currently listed for re-sale to the public. 2,993 homes are listed for sale in total in the market.

"Foreclosed homes have been nearly fully loaded into the Henry County housing market," noted Peter Ranck, Vice President for RealtyStore. "Most other counties researched to date show a much smaller amount of their foreclosure population up for sale. For instance, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma and Marion County, Florida recently revealed only 26% and 42% of foreclosures actively listed for re-sale, respectively. Those levels are a far cry from Henry County's 99% REO listings rate. It appears banks and government entities owning foreclosures in Henry County are highly motivated to sell their local foreclosed properties."

Exploring what it takes to purchase foreclosures in the county found a significantly lower median price on foreclosure listings. The median price of all homes for sale in the Henry County market is currently $132,000. Foreclosure listings in Henry County show a median price of $80,000 or 39% lower. This 'foreclosure discount' is well above the national average of 27% and may be due in part to the extraordinarily high percentage of foreclosure listings currently active in the area.

A pricing analysis was also conducted by foreclosure seller. The lowest local foreclosure prices are listed on REO bank foreclosures, which range from $9,900 to $363,000 with a median price of $79,900 in Henry County. HUD homes posted the next lowest median at $80,000 and have HUD foreclosure listings ranging from $15,000 to $150,000 in the county.
