Boomerang Homes Keep Coming Back at a Lower Price
Written by Susanne Novak on February 14, 2009 – 12:00 am -It seems that some Columbus HUD Homes keep coming back on the market a number of times. We call them BOOMERANG HOMES. Officially these Columbus Houses are “re-listed”, because they fell out of contract. We don’t know why contracts are cancelled, but the two major reasons are failing a property inspection and problems with financing for the buyer.
The condition of a property can certainly deteriorate after the offer was made. Remember the heavy wind earlier this week? A Columbus house we have in contract suffered significant roof damage during the storm. So we asked HUD to increase their repair escrow and cover the additional expenses. The request was granted, which shows that HUD is pretty motivated and wants to get contracts closed.
Here are 4 Boomerang Homes we previously featured on this blog.
4 Unit Brick Building on 2903 E 9th Ave., Columbus, OH
price reducted, now listed at 60% of appraised value – relist: 3rd time

Golf Course Home in Hilliard, 3262 Andrew James Drive, Hilliard, OH
price reduced 10%, now asking 75% of comparable sales, relist: 2nd time

Split-level home on East Side, 5640 Oakmont Drive, Columbus, OH
same price, great value, relist: 2nd time

Freestanding condo, 3889 SHANNON GREEN DR, Canal Winchester, OH
