and run the person by name in the county records, you want to be a real stalker, you gotta go deeper than realty trac or any r/e tracking site because they don’t undo what they list. even foreclosure.com is weak when it comes to eliminating bad data. Both sites still list my pad. One has it as bank owned and one as a pre-foreclousre. I bought in four months ago. Realty also lists every loan that has gone bad, a bunch that I looked at are 10k, so they are seconds or other types of loans, it’s misleading in a way to make you subscribe. I also checked all the realty trac hits for my neighbors, it lists houses as bank owned since August, but those sold months ago, I’ve met the new owners. I also looked at three houses I was outbid on in August, September and October of last year, guess what, they still have them listed but the new owners have moved in.
If you run preforeclosure on forclosure .com and get the name of the borrower, then run a grantee search, you can see the actual notices recorded with the county and you can see something else, the “cancel notice of default” entries, something the data selling websites usually ignore. You can run a GIS online for free on the street and confirm which house it is, then check the property taxes as well, this is all free and all online. But then again you saw a map on realty trac so you must be right. Realty trac also listed two bank owned on my parent’s street, but those sold in one day more than six months ago, they have been off the mls for months, for some reason they still appear on the map. If I paid a membership and found out that most of the bank owned listing had been sold, I’d be pissed.
Just so you know, it has looked like that or worse in years past around here on that site, I gave up on realty trac, i use foreclosure as more of a data starting point but they don’t personally look at the data, they download it, I’ve looked at it personally and it doesn’t jive most of the time.
I don’t worry about people who listen to me and I’m not selling anything, it’s opinion, Look at the other thread about “dow 4,000” if they had followed what I wrote on that one they would have doubled their money. My opinion about the current climate is one based on my experience, not a bad map from someone trying to sell you a subscription.
You are the “voice of reason” and I am the “ultra cheerleader” whatever!
