Question

I understand that after a foreclosure sale

the former owner may buy back the property within one year but how do improvements made by new owner affect the buyback price?



Answer

The former owner can only buy back the property IF it sold at master commissioner's sale for less than 2/3 the appraisal value. If it did, the bank's lawyer made a big screw-up, which happens on occasion, but not often. If that is the case, and subsequent improvements have been made, there will have to be compensation paid for the improvements.
