REO and foreclosures in Bemidji

REO: Real Estate Owned or Bank Owned

The Bemidji real estate market is beginning to be "REO Driven". What does that mean? It means that a large number of the homes sold in the past few months have been REO property. The banks are able to keep reducing prices on the real estate they own until the property sells and that is bringing down residential home prices in Bemidji. It's is good for buyers but for ordinary sellers.

Remember, just because a property is REO does not mean it is a "good deal". Sometimes a buyer must wait until a property has been on the market for a while for the bank to reduce their price, even after that you may have to bargain back and forth with the bank until you come to a price you are comfortable with.
