ORLANDO, Fla. (AP/WSYR) - Five New York cities including Syracuse, Rochester, Albany, metro New York and Poughkeepsie made RealtyTrac’s list of best foreclosure deals.
Florida's Space Coast is No. 1 in the nation for the best foreclosure deals.
A study released Thursday by the firm RealtyTrac says the area around the Kennedy Space Center was best in the nation for getting a foreclosure deal last year.
Other Florida metro areas on the top 20 list were Lakeland, Tampa, Jacksonville, Orlando and Miami.
RealtyTrac used four criteria to make their list: the month's supply of foreclosed properties; the percentage of foreclosure sales; the foreclosure discount; and the increase in the percentage of foreclosure activity in 2012.
