Foreclosures in Athens GA

Everybody loves to get a great deal and purchasing foreclosures in Athens GA can be a great deal!

The home-fix-it shows give us great weekly stories about buyers who purchase a property for pennies on the dollar, do the repairs themselves and end up with a stack of built-in equity.  The thought to bear in mind is that these television shows are for entertainment.  Like hoping to win the lottery, real life is often something different.

That doesn’t mean that there aren’t foreclosure opportunities especially suited for you.  If you are a craftsman by trade or have a family member that is a contractor, you just might find a diamond in the rough.  However, if renovating a home to you means changing the curtains and hanging new towels, you should probably think twice about purchasing a foreclosure.

Most foreclosures have been neglected, and that only makes sense.  The former owner couldn’t make the mortgage payments and that’s why the property was foreclosed upon in the first place.  It follows then that it is unlikely that the home was maintained properly.  If there wasn’t any money available to make the monthly payments, there probably wasn’t any money to keep the house in good condition either.

We have found that most buyers prefer a home that is move-in ready.  By the time you add up the cost of getting a neglected home back into living condition or at least bringing the home up to standard so that it doesn’t deteriorate any further, the amount of money you have spent can exceed what you would have paid for a home that was already liveable.

Working with a Diamond in the Rough

For those with a hearty heart, bear in mind the following possibilities when considering a foreclosure purchase in the Athens area:

  • Generally, you will not be able to negotiate with the seller to have repairs done...you are buying the property AS-IS.
  • Depending on the agency or bank that owns the property, you might not be able to turn on the utilities for inspection purposes.
  • There could be NO appliances in the house at all...no stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, or refrigerator.
  • Renovations might require: tearing out subflooring to repair rotted joists, replacing all of the flooring (carpets are usually in terrible shape), repairing a defective foundation, waterproofing a basement or crawlspace, putting a new roof on the house, replacing entire bathrooms, painting the entire inside and outside of the house, repaving the driveway, replacing garage doors, repairing or replacing a deck, and more (electrical, plumbing, etc.)

If you haven’t been scared away yet, set up a search on our site so that you can investigate some of the foreclosure and bank owned properties in Athens GA and the surrounding areas. Maybe you will find something that fits your skill level and presents a great value.

Like new construction, without the like new price tag. Built in 2021 and meticulously refreshed from top to bottom, this 3 bedroom, 2 full bath home delivers the look, feel, and finish of new construction at a price that simply doesn't exist elsewhere in this condition, all tucked into the established Savoy Park community on a spacious .6 acre fenced corner lot. Step inside to find fresh interior paint and durable LVP flooring running throughout the entire main level, setting a clean, welcoming tone the moment you walk in. The kitchen has been beautifully reimagined with newly painted cabinetry, a stylish new tile backsplash, updated cabinet hardware, new appliances, and added recessed lighting that brightens the entire space. New light fixtures carry that same polished feel through every room, and thoughtful touches like new mirrors, faucets, and door hardware round out the details buyers notice right away, the kind of upgrades that typically come with a much higher price tag. With the primary suite conveniently located on the main level, this home offers the easy, one-level living so many buyers are searching for and are willing to pay a premium for elsewhere. The primary suite is a true retreat, anchored by an oversized walk-in closet with room to spare and a spa-inspired bath featuring a double vanity, separate walk-in shower, and a deep soaking tub. New quartz countertops and a new shower door add the final polished touch. Upstairs, new carpet flows through a generous bonus room that flexes to fit your life, a home office, a media room, a playroom, or simply extra living space that grows with you, square footage most buyers only get by paying more. Outside, the lifestyle continues. Relax on the rocking chair covered front porch, or unwind on the covered back patio complete with an outdoor fireplace, made for cool fall evenings and easy weekend gatherings. A side entry garage keeps the curb appeal clean, and the fully fenced backyard offers privacy and space to spread out on this oversized corner lot, a lot size that's increasingly hard to find at this price point. This is the rare combination of a newer build, a fully refreshed interior, and a below-market price, all in one address. Homes at this level of finish simply don't last, schedule your showing before this one is gone.
