Buyers can purchase foreclosure homes for sale at great prices in Nashville, based on interviews with realtors and home buyers in the city. In January, the median sales price for single-family homes dropped by 12 percent to $159,000 compared to the median in 2008.

Owner occupant buyers and investors can buy foreclosed homes for sale in the five states aided by President Barack Obama with $1.5 billion last week.

Foreclosed home auctions will go online in the Lakeland metro area this year to help the courts manage their backlog of filings, according to Richard Weiss, clerk of courts for Polk County, where Lakeland is located.

Foreclosure houses have become the center stage of the campaign of NeighborWorks America to preserve property values and maintain stability in neighborhoods. NeighborWorks is being helped in its campaign by other neighborhood-focused nonprofits like the National Housing Institute and the National Vacant Properties Campaign.

Foreclosed house sales would be stimulated by the decision of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to temporarily suspend its anti-flipping policy starting February 1 to help foreclosure-hit neighborhoods sell their vacant properties.
