Question:
There is a house in my neighborhood that I heard may be going up for sale bc of foreclosure. I think buying this house would be a great investment. However, it's been a year since I heard that, and no one has lived in the house since. I was wondering if there was a way I could check out the status of the house online, like the total value, foreclosure status, repair status. I seem to remember being told that this was public information on propery available to anyone. Anyone know about realty?
Answer:
This depends on where you live. If the house is in foreclosure, there would have been a complaint filed in the court as well as a notice of lis pendens in the office of the county recorder. You should check both. Many counties are online now. You can also sign up for the free trial at realtytrac.com and see if that helps you.
Usually they put some sort of sign on the door. Look there to see if there is any information.
