The unfortunate reality of the economic conditions in the Windsor Real Estate market are such that many properties have gone Power of Sale. Power of Sale is when the present owners can't continue to make the payments on their mortgage and the bank takes over the property to sell it on the open market to try to recoup the outstanding balance on the mortgage. Contrary to foreclosure rules in the USA Canadian finance companies have to still try and get market value for the properties they take Power of Sale in Windsor because the owners are entitled to the equity in the property. This situation has created many great buying opportunities in the Windsor Real Estate market for buyers, investors and contractors wanting to flip properties. The types of power of sale homes in Windsor vary from small starter homes, rental properties, country homes, city properties, condos, anything you're looking for. Now is the time to take advantage of these great buying opportunities.
