Economic meltdown or recession has practically touched all the aspects of life 
one among them is the fear of loosing jobs. Loss in jobs has resulted in 
defaulting home mortgage payments leading to foreclosures on homes. 

There has been a considerable rise in the number of homes available for 
foreclosures and these numbers are increasing by the day. One can find the list 
of foreclosure properties easily in the newspaper, magazines, on the internet 
and with the financial institutional.  

It is not uncommon for house owners to default mortgage payments in hard times. 
If you miss your payments for a couple of months, the recovery officer will 
politely check with you for the reasons. If the defaults continue and pile up 
month on month, the bank or the financial institution will take serious action. 
Before the bank reclaims its right on your property, it has to keep the 
property under the pre foreclosures stage. As the name itself suggest this 
stage is prior to foreclosures. In this stage you still have full rights on 
your property and can consider the option of selling it and pay the bank debt. 

Most of the defaulters prefer selling it at the pre foreclosures stage as they 
can clear the bank outstanding, keep some money for themselves and in this 
process avoid the trauma of foreclosures and auction of the property. But if 
there is no action from your end the bank takes the possession of the property 
and foreclosures process initiates. This process is not a fast process. From 
the time one starts defaulting on payments, it takes more than a year to start 
the foreclosures on homes. 

Foreclosures on homes are a cumbersome process for the banks as it is expensive 
and time consuming. For the foreclosures properties buyers, this situation is 
an advantage as they can strike a deal with the banks and expect a reduction of 
20-30% of the property value. The process of foreclosures on home involves, 
banks conducting an auction wherein a number of home buyers, real estate 
agents, investors participate, unlike in the pre foreclosures stage. 

These auctions are also conducted online in case you are not able to attend 
them physically or if the property is located outside your state or county. 
However, bidding online is not recommended for first timers, as you would not 
be able to gauge the right price of the property sitting at home or office.  

Foreclosures on homes are a common scenario in the present time, though it can 
be heartbreaking experience to the house owner, as buyers or investor's one 
needs to look at it from business sense and make some good profits out of it. 
If this opportunity is not grabbed by you somebody else will do it. Don't let 
matters of mind be decided by heart, it's not the time to think but to act, so 
go ahead crack the deal, make some money and add another feather in your cap.
