What are HUD homes andare there a lot of HUD homes in Denver? A HUD home is a residential home acquired by HUD, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, as a result of a foreclosure action on an FHA-insured mortgage. HUD becomes the property owner and offers it for sale to recover the loss on the foreclosure claim. And since there are so many FHA backed mortgages in the country, and as a result,a lot of foreclosures on them, HUD has a large back stock of homes they have acquired to resale.
So what are the advantages of buying a HUD home? Mostly, HUD homes are typically sold at a pretty good discount. HUD appraises each home and typically offers them for sale below market value to get them to move quickly. Since these homes had to pass minimum standards to qualify for FHA financing to begin with, they usually are in pretty good shape and if they are not, special FHA financing is available to make repairs that HUD deems are necessary, a feature not always offered with most types of housing.
