Luckily, there has hardly been any foreclosure activity on the Island. Why? Well, the fact is that most of the people who buy a home on the Island are people of means. Many of the homes that were built by Lenox Homes that lie to the north of Harbor Town are purchased by fairly wealthy parents who want to furnish their child a nice, safe place to stay while they attend college to become dentists or optometrists or do their residency at one of the local hospitals. These people don't wind up in foreclosure- they have options.
The people of Harbor Town proper are an anomaly in Memphis. They come from all over the globe. They are the people who have been brought in from other parts of the world to be the movers and shakers of our society. The human resource head hunters found them and they, luckily, found Harbor Town. They are not going to stop paying their house notes. They are not going to get foreclosed on. In the past 5 years or so of this "media made economic crisis" there have only been a scant few foreclosures and almost all of them can be attributed to a divorce or some other personal crisis.
There are a few condos in foreclosure on the south end of downtown. I had the opportunity to show three of them today. These, folks, are amazing opportunities for the savvy investor. There is a 3 story townhouse in State Place, hardwood floors through out, granite and stainless in the kitchen and a one car garage for $134,900. Unbelievable! This unit sold for $225,000 in May of 2007! As far as the second and third property goes- never mind- they are no longer available- I sold them!
If you want to grab a bargain to live in, flip or add to your portfolio- email me at ksoro@comcast.net and I will send you information. We are living in historic times! Make the most of it!!!
