Carroll Cnty Foreclosures: Do Buyers Save Money?
Many potential homebuyers will consider buying a foreclosed home because conventional wisdom says they will be able to purchase a home at a discount. Yet are foreclosures in Carroll County sold at a reduced price?
When looking at the median sales price, Carroll County foreclosures are sold 28% less than the average non-distressed home (not a foreclosure or short sale.) According by RealtyTrac, the nation’s largest foreclosure reporting firm, in September of 2013, the median sale price of a non-distressed home in Carroll was $279,900; while the median sales price of a foreclosure in the county was $200,500; a 28.4% reduction or $79,400.
While quite a reduction, it’s less of a discount than the entire state of Maryland (38.5%.)
