Prince Georges 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 Prince Georges County sold at a reduced price?

When looking at the median sales price, Prince Georges County foreclosures are sold 38% 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 Prince Georges County was $260,000; while the median sales price of a foreclosure in the county was $160,000; a 38.5% reduction or $100,000.
