how do I find Foreclosures in New York City?

July 312011

I would like to find property that will be potentially in foreclosure due to late mortgage or tax liens. I know when you owe property tax, the government can seize your home. I would like to see a list that has potential foreclosure listings.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Can I sue for a real estate agency for listing a home with the wrong square footage?

I purchased a duplex listed as 40000sq ft seven years ago. I recently refinanced my duplex, and had an appraisal done. The appraiser came up with 3400sq ft. This is a huge difference and must be false advertisement. It also means I overpaid $40000 for the duplex. What can I do?

You looked at it didn’t you?
If you mistook 3,400 for 40,000, (an obvious error), it’s on you.
If you mean 3,400 vs 4,000, the inclusion or exclusion of an
unfinished basement or attic could easily explain the difference.

Is there anywhere I can get a free foreclosure home listing?

I’ve gone to a couple of online sites and in the end they just want you to pay money!! Is there a free listings area?? Thanks.

http://www.realtor.com list all homes with an MLS number, including foreclosures. Many foreclosures are now labeled as such on the site.

Otherwise, your real estate agent or title company gets a pre-foreclosure and auction list on a weekly basis.

Most jurisdictions also require public notice, usually printed in the local newspaper. This notice will state each home in foreclosure and when the expected auction date is.
