MOTIVATED SELLERS
In Wasilla, Palmer and the Mat-Su Valley
On Monday I mentioned that I would add a feature showing the foreclosed properties. I intended to just add a link to all the foreclosures that I could find on the MLS system. But…I discovered that would be against MLS rules so I have done something even better.
In a previous article I noted that foreclosures are not always the best deals on the market. In fact, foreclosures usually sell for exactly what they are worth. You can read that article here.
Still, foreclosures are usually priced below the other similar sized houses and for the right person they can be a good deal. Even better deals can sometimes be found. These can be relocation properties where a holding company does not want to sit on a vacant house, or they can be divorce sales where a judge orders the sale of a property.
So I have gone through the MLS one by one and come up with 42 listings that meet the criteria of the title. These properties will absolutely be sold. In fact, most of them will likely be sold fairly quickly.
It is against the MLS rules for me to just post these 42 properties on my website. I am only supposed to give this information to people I am working with, so I have come up with a way to do that.
All you need to do is drop me a note via email. Mention Motivated Sellers in the body of the email, include your name and phone number and I will email the list to you. Just click here to email me.
This list will be done weekly to keep you up to date with these motivated sellers. There is no way to do an automated search for these types of properties because it requires me to read through each listing for clues.

Re. “In a previous article I noted that foreclosures are not always the best deals on the market. In fact, foreclosures usually sell for exactly what they are worth.”
******************************
This phrase is misleading, for what is a property worth, if it is not, what it sells for?
A foreclosure is a forced (some call it distressed) sale, and the fact that the seller MUST sell necessarly translates into a lower selling price. Good deals can be had if you compare the price to top of the market valutions. And, you will need some luck…
