COSTA RICA REAL ESTATE CONSULTING is a advetising company, specializing in content and news in property law, law and real estate advertising in Costa Rica

In previous economies, it used to be that people interested in buying a home would turn up their nose at the prospect of a foreclosed property and keep right on shopping. Before the recent mortgage crisis, more times than not, that was a good idea. Foreclosed properties carried with them a particular set of associated baggage that could create headaches, both immediate and down the road. Things like:

1.   Poor maintenance and abuse leading to hidden costs that could swell into the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
2.   Decreased home value due to other foreclosures in the neighborhood.
3.   Stigma of living in a “trashed out” home.

All of these used to be legitimate concerns, and some still are, but one thing is certain – this isn’t your dad’s foreclosure market any more. As has been recounted previously, a large percentage of foreclosures now on the market are not beaten-down, boarded-up, homeless catch-all structures. These days, you’re just as likely to find a house not more than a few years old, with very little wear and tear, sitting right in the middle of a nice neighborhood.

In today’s real estate market, it’s not just the lower income families losing their homes. It’s solidly middle and even upper-middle class professionals who simply took on too much mortgage. Homebuyers and real estate investors alike see this as the buying opportunity of a lifetime. A recent survey commissioned by Trulia.com and Realtytrac reveals a jump in consumer willingness to consider purchasing a foreclosed home in the near future.

How much of a jump? 55% this year versus 47% when compared to the same question a year ago. That’s a pretty decent jump. If you dig deeper into the data, you begin to see why. Potential home buyers are looking for bargains, plain and simple. 40% of them expect that purchasing a foreclosed property will get them a savings of at least 50%. Last year, only 31% expected to realize that level of savings.

Is it true? Doesn’t matter. Perception is reality. If people believe it to be true, they will act on that belief. News stories focusing on incredible deals like houses selling for $5,000 only serve to fuel the fire. If one person actually gets a deal like that, the perception for each and every buyer is they can do the same.

But can they all find a bargain? With foreclosure activity up 32% from last year, the odds have certainly gotten a lot better. RealtyTrac reports that one out of every 374 houses has received a foreclosure filing in April of this year. That’s the highest rate since they started tracking in January of 2005. And new home builders are feeling the effects of this new consumer sentiment. 53% of all home sales in southern California in April were foreclosures.

But what do these changes mean to the average income property investor eager to pad their real estate portfolio with foreclosures?
