Arlington Foreclosures: How Many? Where? How Often?

Let’s talk about Arlington foreclosures, otherwise known as bank-owned properties in Arlington County for 2009-YTD in 2010. Just so we’re on the same page, bank-owned properties are ones that may or may not have gone through a short sale, then to auction, then BACK to the bank who foreclosed on the owners (this is when we often refer to these properties as bank-owned, Real Estate Owned (REO), or Foreclosures). So now the bank owns the house and they’ve assigned an asset manager (or a 3rd party company to handle negotiations) on the house when it hits the market for sale.

Some figures: The #1 state with foreclosure filings and bank-owned properties is Nevada. In August alone, 95,364 properties became bank-owned. That’s 1 month.

Since January 1, 2009, there have been a TOTAL of 282 bank-owned properties sold in Arlington. That’s 21 months and only 282. During that time, 4,632 properties have sold, making the market share for Arlington only 6.09%.
