HUD Homes
We specialize in helping clients navigate the purchase of HUD Homes throughout California & Nevada, providing expert guidance through this unique acquisition process.
What Are HUD Homes?
HUD Homes are properties acquired by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a result of foreclosure actions on FHA-insured mortgages. These properties are sold at market value through approved real estate brokers like us.
Investment Opportunities
HUD Homes often represent excellent investment opportunities with competitive pricing and special purchase programs for owner-occupants, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations.
Certified HUD Assistance
Our team includes certified HUD-registered brokers who can access, bid on, and facilitate the purchase of these properties across California, ensuring compliance with all HUD requirements and timelines.
We guide buyers through the entire HUD Home process—from property search on to successful electronic bid submission, financing options, inspection coordination, and closing procedures—maximizing your chances of successful acquisition. Selling HUD Homes since 1990.
HUD Homes - FAQ's
What are HUD Homes?
HUD-owned properties from FHA foreclosures, sold at market value through approved brokers.
Who can buy HUD Homes?
Anyone can purchase, with special programs for owner-occupants and nonprofits.
How do I make an offer?
Only HUD-registered brokers can submit electronic bids through the HUD system.
What's the process timeline?
Bid periods typically last 5-10 days, with closing required within 45-60 days.
Why Consider a HUD Home?
HUD homes can offer compelling value compared with traditional listings. Buyers often benefit from pricing, priority access windows, and flexible financing pathways that make ownership more achievable.
Key Benefits
  • 💲 Below-Market Pricing: Listings are often priced to sell efficiently, creating opportunities for buyers.
  • 🏡 Owner-Occupant Priority: Exclusive early-bid windows reduce investor competition for people who will live in the home.
  • 🧾 Accessible Financing: Many properties are financeable with FHA, VA, or conventional loans; renovation options may be available.
  • 🛡️ Transparent Valuation: Pricing is guided by standardized valuation practices for clarity and confidence.
  • 👩‍🏫 Special Programs: Eligible community-focused buyers (teachers, law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs) may access significant purchase incentives.
  • 🔍 Open & Streamlined Sales Process: Bidding and status updates are managed on the official HUD platform for clarity.
Lower CompetitionFlexible FinancingOwner-Occupant Advantage
Important Considerations (Know Before You Buy)
  • 🧰 Sold “As-Is”: HUD doesn’t make repairs. Plan for inspections and potential improvements.
  • 📍 Occupancy Rules: Owner-occupants typically must live in the home for a minimum period after purchase.
  • 📦 Inventory Varies: Availability depends on your region and market conditions.
Tip: Work with a team experienced in HUD transactions to evaluate condition, estimate repair budgets, and structure a competitive bid.
How to Buy a HUD Home: Step-by-Step
  1. Get Pre-Approved: Strengthen your offer and move quickly when the right property appears.
  1. Work with a HUD-Registered Agent: Only approved agents can submit bids on your behalf.
  1. Search Listings: Browse active properties on the official marketplace (HUDHomeStore.gov).
  1. Submit a Competitive Bid: Bids are “blind” and evaluated on net proceeds; owner-occupants may have priority during early phases.
  1. Order Inspections: Even “as-is,” inspections help you understand condition and plan repairs.
  1. Close & Move In: Provide earnest money, finalize financing, and complete standard closing steps.
Quick FAQs
Can I use financing to buy a HUD home?
Yes. Many HUD homes are eligible for FHA, VA, or conventional financing. Renovation-friendly products may also be available depending on property condition.
Are HUD homes only for first-time buyers?
No. Both first-time and repeat buyers can purchase, subject to occupancy rules during owner-occupant priority windows.
Do I need a special agent?
Yes. Your bid must be submitted by a HUD-registered real estate agent. We can connect you with a qualified representative.
Are inspections required?
Inspections are strongly recommended. Properties are sold “as-is,” so diligence is essential.
Detailed Q&A - REO & Foreclosure Services
What is an REO property?
REO stands for "Real Estate Owned" and refers to properties that have been taken back by a lender (typically a bank or financial institution) after an unsuccessful foreclosure auction. When a homeowner defaults on their mortgage and the property fails to sell at foreclosure auction, it becomes bank-owned or REO property. These properties are then sold through real estate agents like CalREOServices.com to recover the lender's losses.
What is a foreclosure?
Foreclosure is the legal process by which a lender takes possession of a property when the borrower fails to make mortgage payments. The process typically begins after several missed payments and can result in the property being sold at public auction. If the property doesn't sell at auction, it becomes an REO property owned by the bank or lending institution.
