If you work in real estate or wish to purchase a building for your business in West Virginia, you may benefit from reviewing West Virginia foreclosure listings. The homes and buildings in foreclosure may cost substantially less than others on the market.

Many of these listings can be found online. Foreclosure.com is one site that provides listings by the state. After you select West Virginia from the menu, you can browse buildings by the county. If looking for buildings in rural areas, browse western counties such as Hampshire, Hardy and Grant. Eastern counties such as Wood and Mason are home to larger cities, such as Parkersburg.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) also provides foreclosure listings. In the Homes for Sale Center of the website, select West Virginia and the type of property you seek. The FDIC lists homes, office buildings, shopping centers, residential lots, and more. You can also select your desired price range. The FDIC has ownership of the listed buildings, which are priced to help the corporation recoup losses.

Consult local banks and courthouses for information. You can purchase foreclosure listings from companies, but much of the information is available for no or low costs. Business.com is another excellent resource for information on West Virginia foreclosure listings.
