This was a good week!

I managed to preview 6 Columbus HUD Homes for you. Each HUD home I entered came with a hidden surprise. I guess this makes the job interesting.

As I mentioned on Friday, there’s a lot of activity in the Hilliard area. Three of the previewed Columbus houses are new HUD listings in the Hilliard School district. The other 3 are in the north east, 2 near Easton and the last one in the New Albany school district.

I know you are curious. What are the surprises?

1. A deck just 50 yards from I-70
2. 50% of the kitchen cabinets missing
3. A kitchen without a ceiling but full of mold
4. Awnings like an old ice cream shop
5. All kitchen appliances included
6. Move-in ready in New Albany

It appears that the Hilliard HUD homes need a little work, while the one in New Albany is ready for you to move in.

Don’t be afraid of the repairs! Everything I mentioned here can be repaired for a reasonable fee in a very short time. That’s why you get the huge discounts off the market values. And I can help you find qualified contractors.

For this Black Friday HUD boosted its Columbus inventory to 92 listings. What’s even more exciting is the fact that the median list price jumped to $85,000. It hasn’t been this high since we started tracking HUD homes more than a year ago.
 
The reason for this jump in price is the increased number of suburban Columbus HUD homes. 27 Columbus houses are priced above $100K, which is close to an all-time high.
 
Where are the Thanksgiving weekend deals? They are on the east side, in Westerville, Blacklick, Canal Winchester and Obetz. Make sure to read my next blog post in a couple of days to see 6 featured Columbus HUD homes.

Today three of our featured HUD homes got relisted. You can find them on the map – just look for the yellow markers. If you did not get a HUD homes map, simply enter your email in the box to the right and join our mailing list!

The 3 boomerangs are the New Albany homes at Mardela Drive (price reduced to $112,500!!) and Nafzger Drive as well as the house at Fairfax Loop in Blacklick.

With the exceptional selection and variety of Columbus HUD Homes available this week, I decided to preview a total of 6 suburban HUD Homes instead of the usual 3. 

For each featured home I created a property website, took 18 pictures and created a video. No other Columbus realtor is providing you with this information. If you read my blog, you don’t worry about the rainy weather. You can enjoy the best Columbus HUD homes from the convenience of your home.

Three of today’s featured HUD homes are in Pickerington. Althought this beautiful suburb had its share of HUD listing over the past year, today’s homes are special. They are located in newer subdivisions and priced between $125K and $155K.

I also included the New Albany HUD home we mentioned on Friday. There are not too many HUD homes in this upscale, north eastern suburb.

We round off today’s previews with a relisted Galloway ranch and a split-level home in the Westerville school district for only $80,000.

Here they are our 6 unique Columbus HUD Homes:
