Virginia Foreclosures Finally on the Rise

February 12th, 2008 by admin

While Virginia foreclosures have remained at comparatively low levels to other states during the recent foreclosure boom, over the course of 2007 the number of Virginia foreclosure homes coming onto the market increased substantially, and that could spell good news for potential investors.

The year 2007 saw roughly 14,000 properties entering some stage of foreclosure, a figure which is up more than double from 2006, when only 4,500 homes entered foreclosure proceedings. But now, with more adjustable rate mortgages set to go into a period of adjustment in 2008, officials are predicting foreclosure home levels as high as 20,000 for the new year. Up until now, Virginia’s strong job growth and economy have managed to offset the effects of the proliferation of adjustable rate and sub prime mortgages. But with the real estate market struggling, the symptoms couldn’t be held off forever.

For investors considering getting in on the ground floor with Virginia foreclosure real estate, there are a lot of good options. Richmond foreclosures can be a great chance to buy property in a growing city that attracts business, new residents and jobs, which creates huge potential for investment profits. Waiting for the market to rebound would be a good idea, but buying foreclosures for sale means getting below market values, so many investors and turning around and selling foreclosure properties right after they buy them!

Other areas with good potential value for investment are Fredericksburg foreclosures, Alexandria foreclosures and Sterling foreclosures, all of which have typically higher property values and are popular locations in Virginia. Virginia Beach foreclosures have special value, since this valuable beach property can be counted on to rise in value for many years. Just be sure you do your research on foreclosure properties in Virginia before you buy, and be sure to pick areas with good potential for economic growth and rising property values in the future.
