Finding local foreclosure sales data
We recently received a question on the RealtyTrac Community about whether it's possible to get average foreclosure sales prices down to the zip code level on RealtyTrac. Well, it certainly is, and since someone was asking about it I'm guessing there are others out there who don't know about this feature.
Here's how to access this data.
First go to the RealtyTrac Trend Center. You'll need to be logged in as a RealtyTrac subscriber. Sign up for a free guest membership. Then simply type in any zip code (or city or county or state) in the big blue search box at the top of the page and click "SEARCH." Click on the "Sales Trends" sub-tab and then scroll down until you get to the Foreclosure Sales charts. You'll see something like the below, and you can hover over the "Average Foreclosure Sales" plotted line to see the average sales price of properties in some stage of foreclosure for any given month. You can hover over the "Average Sales Price" plotted line to see the average sales prices of properties not in foreclosure, plus the average savings on a foreclosure purchase.
