March 2007, Statistics reveal that Texas leads the nation in

having the largest number of foreclosed homes in the nation.

Texas experienced an alarming 38% increase in the number of

foreclosed homes during March 2007 alone. Now, if you are

currently residing in or contemplating moving to the “Lone

Star State”, this may mean some good news for you.

Texas is the second largest state in the nation, second only to

Alaska, however, it is the most populous. This may attribute

to why the foreclosure statistics are so staggering. Yet,

residential foreclosures are growing at an alarming rate

across the country. Inflation, the slowdown of the real estate

market, unemployment is all factors in this sad state of affairs.

If you are in the market for a new home in Texas, it may

behoove you to check out the Texas foreclosure listings

available. Since there are several stages of foreclosures, you

may find a dream house in a price range that you can afford.

Many times homes in foreclosure offer tremendous deals. You

may also want to consider purchasing a vacation home, or

investment home when the price and the deal is right. The

first place to find such deals is to subscribe or obtain a real

estate foreclosure listing. There are several avenues to

obtaining such a listing discussed below.

The quickest and easiest was to find a Texas foreclosure

listing is online. Several reputable companies offer

comprehensive, up to the minute listing services. A

subscription is generally necessary, however, there is limitless

opportunity to recoup the nominal subscription rate during

your first transaction.

Secondly, many lenders offer a “snail mail” listing service.

Many times these are free services as they are mailed to your

home. The snail mail listings, unfortunately, can be outdated

by the time you receive them, however, if this is the only

method the particular lender uses for alerting of any

foreclosures, this listing may contain properties not otherwise

found using other online services.

For all Texans current or soon to be, it does not matter the

method you use to find property in foreclosure, it is important

to understand that using Texas foreclosure listings is an

avenue to find property that can potentially save you

thousands of your hard earned dollars.
