There are upsides and downsides to purchasing a short sale or a foreclosure in Asheville NC. You may get a bargain, however in a short sale situation the seller's lender must agree to the contract terms which can take 3 or 4 months or even longer, as banks are overwhelmed with applications that are flooding in under the Administration's <a title="making home affordable" href="http://blog.pattonpropertygroup.com/2009/06/19/making-home-affordable-government-initiatives-asheville-nc/" rel="nofollow">Making Home Affordable Plan</a>. Once an offer has been presented, it is possible that others come in and must be presented, especially in the busy summer season. In a pre-foreclosure situation, the lender or other beneficiary is getting ready to foreclose on the property which must be disclosed on the listing. Once an offer is forthcoming, the lender must approve the contract before moving forward. <a href="http://www.pattonpropertygroup.com/foreclosure-asheville-nc/short-sale-asheville/bank-owned-asheville-nc/" rel="nofollow">Read more here</a><br \><br \>0 replies Mon, 30 Nov 2009 20:35:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Buying-foreclosures-in-Asheville-NC/302763/ 2009-11-30T20:35:00Z tax credit http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/tax-credit/301444/ I have previously owned a home for 5 years in the last 8 years however I currently own a home and am looking to move.&nbsp; Am I still eligible for a tax credit.<br \><br \>2 replies Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:36:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/tax-credit/301444/ 2009-11-25T09:36:00Z How do I find homes with seller financing options? http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/How-do-I-find-homes-with-seller-financing-options/302723/ Seeking a home for our family in the Mooresville, NC and surrounding area, i.e. Davidson, Huntersville, Concord, Denver, Lake Norman-Cornelius.&nbsp; Searching for seller financing availabilities....How or where can I search online to find these listings?<br \><br \>1 reply Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:13:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/How-do-I-find-homes-with-seller-financing-options/302723/ 2009-11-30T19:13:00Z If this house becomes availible for sale I would like to bid on it.
