Distressed Rio Rancho Homes for Sale At 40%
Approximately 40% of Rio Rancho Homes for sale listed in the Southwest Multiple Listing Service are distressed properties. Distressed properties are defined as bank foreclosures or short sales. A short sale occurs when a homeowner sells their home for less than they owe the banks.
Inventory
A recent search of the Southwest Multiple Listing Service showed there are 721 Rio Rancho homes for sale. There were 94 homes identified as bank-owned homes and 194 homes identified as short sales. In most cases, bank-owned homes and short sales sell for less than market value. This is mainly because most bank-owned homes and short sales need repairs. Rio Rancho foreclosures and short sales also hurt the value of all Rio Rancho homes. Many buyers and real estate agents do not like to look at short sales as this process is lengthy and there is no guarantee the buyer will end up purchasing the short sale.
