Bank-Owned Foreclosed Properties
The number of bank-owned properties in the region is increasing. Due to a depressed economy and a weak real estate market, the foreclosure crisis continued well into 2011. Foreclosed homes that are not sold via auction become bank-owned properties called "REOs." (The term comes from the "Other Real Estate Owned" category used on financial statements.)
