It’s in Pittsburgh, Pa., according to a recent study from Zillow.com, which indicates that buyers are paying 59 percent less for foreclosed homes than those who close on “traditional” properties.
Those are remarkable savings.
The “white paper,” called “Price Differences Between Foreclosures and Non-Foreclosures,” analyzed 16 major real estate markets throughout the United States. Overall, the research revealed that on average buyers save about 28 percent on distressed real estate.
Portland, Ore., is where the savings gap is narrowest, coming in at about an 18 percent discount. Nonetheless, it’s still a significant amount when hundreds of thousands of dollars are involved.
Take a look the top 10 best markets for where to find foreclosure deals:
- Pittsburgh, Pa.
- Cincinnati, Ohio
- Columbus, Ohio
- Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.
- Phoenix, Ariz.
- Denver, Colo.
- Los Angeles, Calif.
- Kansas City, Mo.
- Riverside, Calif.

I’ve used this site to find bank-owned properties in my area. It is 100% updated and the agents that run it are very helpful. It doesn’t cost anything.

Florida Bank Owned Homes
In Central Florida we’ve seen more than a 50% drop in certain areas. I’m surprised not to see it in the top 10. Super cheap properties are really moving because of the cashflow opportunities. A recent property we sold was $25k in downtown Orlando! It was a 3/2 just under 1,000 sqft!
