The Bargain Hunter list continues to grow!

Currently, 120 Columbus HUD homes are available to all bidders. There are some really nice properties on this list.

Like the house at 254 Oxford Drive. This is a newer HUD home in a subdivision close to downtown Pataskala. I previewed this HUD house a few weeks ago, when it originally came on the market – it is in very good shape and does not have obvious mold damage.

Last Friday its price was reduced to $124,200, but owner occupants did not pick it up yet. You may get this HUD property for as little as $99K, which is certainly a great deal for a 4 bedroom home in the suburbs.

There are too many deals to mention this week. Simply check our bargain hunters list to see all of the Columbus HUD homes available to investors.

Pataskala may appear like a small town in the country 30 miles east of Columbus. You should definitely take a look at the great HUD homes we previewed for you there, especially, if you like the east side of the Columbus metro area.

There are many benefits of buying a HUD home in Pataskala. Here are 5 reasons why you should consider moving to Pataskala:

1. This little town is well connected to Columbus via I-70 East, Main Street and National Road (Broad Street). It just takes 10 minutes to get to Pataskala from I-270 on the East side of Columbus.
2. There are many new subdivisions with huge residences – just take a look at our featured homes below. And they are very affordable for the size house you can buy.
3. Some of these subdivisions have a Pataskala address, but are actually very close to Blacklick and Reynoldsburg.
4. Pataskala is served by the Licking Heights and Southwest Licking School Districts, which are rated among the best in Central Ohio.
5. Most of Pataskala is in Licking County, therefore, you purchase will most likely qualify for USDA (Dept of Agriculture) financing. These are government backed loans that do not require any downpayment.

Many Columbus HUD Homes sell above list price. Specifically Columbus houses located in the suburbs that are in move in condition or need only minor repairs are very popular with owner occupant buyers. Truth be said, they usually get great deals on these homes.

HUD Homes that fell out of contract and have been relisted offer great opportunities for deeper discounts. Take a look at the most recent Columbus HUD Homes deals.

I have seen the house on 7855 Fairfax Loop in Blacklick.  It is huge, with a good floor plan, and features a large deck backing to the woods. It was one of the relists from last Friday, but now it’s in contract for $144,500, that’s $15,500 above list price.
 
The White House of Pickerington went in contract again for $110,000. Maybe the 6th time is the charm? And the Long Street Double found a taker for $34,000, which is $13,000 more than the last go around.

You will find great deals on today’s bargain list. For instance, there is a nice suburban, Pataskala HUD home at 101 Brooksedge Drive. It was relisted last Friday and is now available to all bidders at an asking price of $139,140.

Twenty Seven HUD homes are available to all bidders. If you subscribe to our list you receive a weekly bargain hunter’s spreadsheet with Columbus HUD Homes available to all bidders.  We mail it out every Wednesday, which is the day after the deadline for owner occupants and offers the best opportunites for investors to snag a deal. Enter your email in the box to the right to get your bargain hunter’s list!
