That’s how Kendi Kiogora, a 28-year-old first-time home buyer, described her recent experience at a Chicago-area auction, anyway.

And when you hear about the deal (or steal) she made off with it’s hard to argue otherwise.

Kendi purchased a “one-bedroom, one-bath apartment in Chicago’s trendy South Loop neighborhood, with skyline views and heated parking, for just $105,000,” according to Reuters.com feature today. The final sale price was $62,000 less than its last listing and well below true market value.

Her good fortune is just more proof that it’s a buyers market. Plain and simple. Opportunities to buy homes at deep discounts have never been better than they are right now.

And according to Dave Webb of Hudson & Marshall, one of the biggest players in the real estate auction business, more amazing deals could flood the market in the very near future.

Here’s a snip:

“The foreclosures are going to explode again.”

Why?

Mr. Webb points to moratoriums that have or are about to expire on foreclosures, which were put in place months ago by major lending institutions and banks to minimize defaults and stabilize the market.

However, this well-intentioned move may have just delayed the inevitable and, as the report suggests, an “avalanche of new repossessions” could be on the horizon.
