REO stands for Real Estate Owned. When borrowers default on their monthly mortgage payments, they are usually subjected to foreclosure proceedings. If a property fails to sell for any reason at a foreclosure auction, the lender or the bank who holds the mortgage note will end up with its possession. Such repossessed (repo) residential properties under the control of banks are commonly referred as REO.
Generally, REO properties are either individually listed with local real estate agents or sold off in bulk packages. Banks may handle this process internally or may outsource them to REO Asset Management Companies to manage all related aspects. Real estate investors and new home buyers eagerly seek these bank owned REO property listings as these properties are usually priced well below their market value. We have compiled a comprehensive list of Bank REO websites that show their inventory of repossessed residential homes.
