Foreclosures in Provincetown MAUnfortunately for investors, there aren't as many foreclosures as one might think, because property is usually able to sell before it forecloses. Even as a short sale, property can usually be sold before it gets foreclosed on. I often receive inquiries about foreclosures on Cape Cod.In the town of Provincetown this year, from January 1, 2016 and October 28, 2016 there have been seven properties that had an Order of Notice recorded. The order of notice is the first recorded step in the foreclosure process. This is a formal public notice that a borrower has not kept the payments current and that the lender is planning to foreclose.Once this is recorded, there are other steps that the lender needs to take correctly before the foreclosure can take place.

A Provincetown MA home buyer should receive a brochure, Home Inspectors Facts for Consumers Sheet, at the time of the signing of the first written contract to purchase. A standard home inspection in Massachusetts is a visual examination of the physical structure and major interior systems of a residential building consisting of one to four dwelling units. It should be understood that there are certain risks inherent in the purchase of property and a home inspection is inherently limited in its scope and depth. The information gained from home inspection conforming to the Massachusetts Home Inspector Standards of Practice may reduce some of those risks, but the home inspection is not intended to provide the client with protection from all of the risks involved.
