For this Christmas week I selected 5 special HUD homes for you. They are in Hilliard, Gahanna, Westerville Schools and Columbus. If you are looking for a bargain, these Columbus houses are for you.

They are all priced at or below $75,000. These houses may be smaller than some of the new, suburban homes we featured in recent weeks. However, they are listed significantly below the market values in these areas. In retail condition each of these homes will be worth between $100,000 and $130,000. Now you can buy them for less than 70% of market value.

You already know that January is the best time of the year to buy Columbus HUD homes at rock bottom prices. Here’s your chance! Pick one of them and give me a call, so we can write an offer.

These 5 featured HUD Homes are excellent values offered with substantial discounts!

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.

These 4 featured Pataskala HUD Homes offer suburban living at a discount price!

3BR/2.5BA 3,688 sqft Asking $175,000

The four Columbus HUD Homes I feature today are all in suburban school districts.  Two of these homes are serviced by Westerville Schools and are very affordable for the area, albeit they are older homes. The Reynoldsburg house on the other hand is only a few years old and very spacious.

As a bonus I added the Grove City ranch I mentioned on Friday. It’s listed for less than $50K in an area where the typical home sells for $95,000. You really need to take a look at our exclusive pictures – the paint job in the bedrooms and bathrooms is unique.

All featured Columbus houses come with 18 interior and exterior pictures and a video.
