The internet provides easy access to HUD home sale listings in New Mexico
If you have been browsing U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) home sale listings in New Mexico, you may already be aware that HUD homes can be quite affordable. Home loans that were guaranteed by HUD's Federal Housing Administration (FHA) become HUD’s responsibility during a foreclosure, so there are many HUD homes for sale.
When a foreclosed home has an FHA-insured loan, the lender will file a claim with the FHA to recapture the balance due on the loan. The FHA pays this amount to the lender and the ownership of the home is transferred to HUD. This is how homes end up as HUD home sale listings in New Mexico.
The process for buying a HUD home is a bit different than the typical home sales process. HUD homes that are repossessed are appraised and then priced at a fair market value, based on the location and condition of the home. If a home needs repairs, the price is adjusted the estimated cost of getting the home back into livable condition.
Buyers of HUD home sale listings in New Mexico should be aware that HUD homes are sold without warranty. Buying as-is means that you will be responsible for any improvements and repairs that you decide the home needs.

HUD has a website with listings by state so all New Mexico real estate HUD home listings will be on one page. Once you see a listing for a home that you would like to view, you should contact a HUD-approved real estate professional in your area. HUD employees do not work directly with homebuyers, which is why you’ll work with a real estate agent to see these homes.
HUD home listings in New Mexico that have been foreclosed by HUD are sold via bids. Potential buyers submit bids during the home’s offer period. Your real estate agent will submit the offer and your earnest deposit, which is a percentage of the offer amount. At the end of the offer period, HUD typically accepts the highest bid. If your bid is accepted, the agent will be notified and you’ll have 30 to 60 days from the date that HUD accepted your bid to pay with cash for financing. Your agent can help with all the details.
