Wolfeboro New Hampshire Foreclosures, Short Sales and Bank Owned Homes for Sale Purchasing property at a Wolfeboro NH foreclosure auction has many risks to a potential buyer and in most cases the bank will bid and take possession of the property at the auction. The property is then referred to as bank owned, REO (real estate owned) or foreclosed property. A home owner may attempt a "short sale" whereby the bank agrees to accept less than the mortgage balance based on the owner's hardship and financial status. Obtaining approval can be a long and difficult process. Additionally, there is no assurance that the lender will accept an offer at or above the listed price.

With spring taking hold I feel blessed to live on the gold coast of Lake Winnipesaukee. This is East Alton, Wolfeboro, Tuftonboro (Mirror Lake & Melvin Village) as well as part of Moultonborough. It is route 109 on the eastern side of the lake. The westerly views across Winnipesaukee towards the Belknap Mountains in Alton and Gilford are breathtaking especially at sunset. The waterfront real estate, especially in Wolfeboro is some of the best in New England. In fact two years ago French President Nicolas Sarkozy decided to spend two weeks in Wolfeboro. That brought notoriety to the "oldest Summer Resort in America." Not only has Sarkozy spent some time hear, but it is the summer home of former Massachusetts Governor and presidential candidate, Mitt Romney. It was a summer home to Jack L... 04/20/2009
