Maui REO Properties and Foreclosures

Real Estate Owned (REO) properties in Maui present unique opportunities for buyers looking for value and investment potential. These properties are typically owned by banks or lenders following foreclosure and are often available at competitive prices.

The page below includes the current inventory of Maui Foreclosures listed on the MLS. You may also see these properties referred to as REO or Real Estate Owned property. These are not auction properties.

These are properties already owned by a bank listed through a real estate agent. We have seen a growing number of Maui foreclosures as the island economy struggles due to the current recession. While we have not been as hard hit as some mainland communities, you will find a broad cross section of properties within the Maui Foreclosure inventory.

Typically, these properties are purchased without a seller’s disclosure statement and are sold “As-Is”. These properties may also come without appliances, show signs or neglect or may have back association fees. That being said, some foreclosures are proving to be great opportunities as they can be priced well below recent comparable sales.

REO Properties & Foreclosure FAQs

REO (Real Estate Owned) properties are homes that have been repossessed by a lender, typically a bank, after an unsuccessful foreclosure auction. These properties are then listed for sale by the lender.

Foreclosure refers to the legal process by which a lender attempts to recover the balance of a loan from a borrower who has stopped making payments. REO properties are the result of this process when the property does not sell at auction and becomes owned by the lender.

Buying REO properties can offer several benefits, including the potential to purchase at below-market prices, fewer complications with title and ownership issues compared to traditional foreclosures, and the opportunity to invest in properties that may appreciate in value with renovation and upkeep.

When buying an REO property, it’s important to consider the property’s condition, as many may require repairs. It’s also advisable to get a thorough inspection, understand the local real estate market, and work with a real estate agent experienced in REO transactions to navigate the process effectively.

Yes, you can finance the purchase of an REO property with a mortgage, just like any other property purchase. However, it’s crucial to work with a lender who understands the nuances of REO transactions and can provide guidance throughout the process.

While REO properties can offer great value, there are some risks to consider. These include potential repair costs, competition from other buyers, and the possibility of dealing with legal or financial issues related to the property’s previous ownership. Conducting due diligence and working with knowledgeable professionals can help mitigate these risks.
