While the majority of the country is still reeling from the impact of the bank and mortgage crisis and some states out there are being ravaged by triple digit foreclosures, North Carolina as a state is getting along fairly well. In December of 2008 only 2,574 new properties entered the foreclosure system here. To make that more in perspective and to illustrate how good they are doing, during that same month the state of Florida saw a total of 50,808 new foreclosures. That should show you the scope.
The gambit of homes here in foreclosure is fairly wide and you can locate brand new homes that have never been lived in and you can find home that were built a hundred years ago and have seen numerous families come and go. And there is everything in between the two of them from manufactured homes to condos and anything else that you can imagine is on the list.
North Carolina offers the prospective foreclosure buyer everything from scenic ocean views to pristine mountain property and you can locate foreclosures here in smaller towns as well as the traditionally foreclosed new construction in and around the larger cities if that is what you are after. And a huge plus here is that the current prices are reasonable for purchase.
The Carolinas have become favorite retirement areas for people moving away from the larger east coast cities like New York and Baltimore and as such, you should have a decent chance of making a good recovery of your cash outlay and a tidy profit on the resale as the market starts recovering and people again begin to buy.
All in all, the state of North Carolina offers a lot of diversity in the types of property that is available and would make an excellent place to invest in today’s economy.
