General Foreclosure, REO, and Distressed Property Listings

Some companies offer searchable databases of foreclosed homes, REOs, and other types of troubled real estate. Some sites offer the listings at no cost, while others require a paid subscription to access the database.

Even if you don't have a subscription, you should be able to access the property's basic details. Subscribers, however, usually have access to a great deal more specific information about the status of properties, including conditions, histories, and concerns.
