Steal this house - foreclosure neighborhoods
I'm presuming this isn't a DC thread, but I thought it was interesting. They show one house for sale in each of ten hard-hit housing markets.
Looking through them, which one would you buy if you were going to retire and had to buy one of them? Poll coming if I can only get the bank off my back. http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2012/...mes/index.html |

Too bad this is in Detroit. I like brick.

Bought our house as a foreclosure. It was an absolute steal.
It needed a little TLC...nothing I had to hire-out to get done. When/If we buy again, I will def. check out the foreclosures first...

I'd never choose to live east of the Mississippi or in California. I'd take Phoenix before Las Vegas.

I was trying to figure out if that's real brick or a veneer. Given the era of the house I'd lean toward real brick, but something about it doesn't look real.

I think the Vegas one seems like a screaming steal if you were going to live there. Even if not, if a dozen of us got together and formed a corporation, it seems like something like this would be a good speculative investment. Rent it out until the market recovers and then sell it. If you want to live in LA, that Lancaster one seems like a deal, too.

It looks to me like some builder used all the various leftover brick from his previous dozen or so houses. I love brick but that is freaking ugly.

And to answer the question, I suppose since we're talking about retirement where I could sit inside in the air conditioning all summer long I'd go Vegas. Yes, it's a desert shithole but it's fairly close to some very cool places. No way I'd go south or to the west coast.

I'd sit tight on buying any foreclosure. The robo-signing fiasco that was recently resolved is going to dump a boat load of foreclosures on the market. They're expecting a minimum of another 10+% price reduction.

Phoenix because there are a shit ton of old people who will look to retire in the south. My other thought was Florida, but why relocate and have to deal with Hurricanes.
