  • Investing in the Post-Foreclosure Housing Market: How Neighborhood Characteristics and Real Estate Actors Affect Recovery

    INVESTING IN THE POST-FORECLOSURE HOUSING MARKET: HOW NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS AND REAL ESTATE ACTORS AFFECT RECOVERY BY ANDREW MCMILLAN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Regional Planning in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Arnab Chakraborty, Chair Assistant Professor Andrew Greenlee Associate Professor Bernadette Hanlon Associate Professor Bev Wilson ABSTRACT As the housing market continues to recover from the foreclosure crisis, an opportunity arises to examine how different hart-hit neighborhoods have managed to recover. This is a two-part study that examines real estate investor activity among REO properties in the Chicago region. The first part consists of a qualitative inquiry consisting of interviews with investors who are active in Chicago’s Southland region. That is followed by an examination of the trajectory of real estate- owned (REO) sales in the Chicago metropolitan statistical area from 2009 to 2013, roughly the first few years of the housing market recovery. Using a data set of property transactions, it tracks property sales to investors and owner-occupants, and examines the neighborhood characteristics that contribute to an investor’s decision to purchase an REO property. `Findings are consistent with previous studies in that investor activity is high in neighborhoods with higher proportions of African American and older residents. In addition, investors report that they consider neighborhood context to be more important than property condition when considering a property’s resale value and that they show a willingness to work with nonprofit or public actors.

A typical mortgage transaction involves a home purchaser borrowing money from a lender and entering into a written agreement with the lender, so that the real estate is collateral for the loan. If the homeowner defaults on the loan, the lender is entitled to foreclose on the real estate and have it sold to reduce the debt. Depending on the terms of the agreement, the lender may then be entitled to pursue the homeowner for payment of any deficiency between the real estate sale proceeds and the debt owed.
