Property data
Foreclosure.com
Foreclosure.com is a subscription listing service for distressed residential property across the United States. Its database covers foreclosures, preforeclosures, short sales, sheriff sales, bank-owned (REO) homes, tax liens, bankruptcy properties, city-owned property and rent-to-own listings, searchable by state, county, city, street address or ZIP code.
Access is sold as a membership that opens with a seven day preview and then costs $39.80 per month, cancellable at any time. Each listing carries price, location, beds and baths, property type, photos, tax roll data and neighborhood and school district detail, and members can set free email alerts for new inventory in chosen areas.
The company says it pulls, processes and verifies data from more than 300 independent sources every day and refreshes the national database twice daily, drawing on county tax rolls, government agencies, corporate sellers and lenders' legal notices. At the time of crawling the site showed 1,220,835 listings, among them 76,041 foreclosures, 229,517 preforeclosures and 492,552 tax liens. Alongside the listings it publishes a foreclosure knowledge center, how-to videos, state-specific legal information and mortgage calculators.
Listing counts move daily and the site does not show how old each record is, so verify status, liens and sale dates with the county before bidding. Customer service is on 561-981-5337 and the contact page gives a mailing address in Boca Raton, Florida.
