best way to find foreclosures? realitytrac doesn’t seem to have the most up to date info for sw mi?

Amy Y asked:

we are looking to find foreclosures in SW Michigan area. its not like we are trying to capitolize on someone else’s pain, but this area is pretty expensive and it would be nice to own a home while we can afford to buy one. we have used realtytrac.com but its at least two months behind and we are tired of searching and searching just to find out its been bought already. any suggestions?

Do foreclosures affect my asking price?

I have heard conflicting opinions on this. I am looking at selling my house and when I begin to pull comps of the houses sold in the area, how are foreclosures going to affect that price? I heard from a realestate agent that foreclosures are not suppose to affect active listings, while my bank (when I was going to refinance) used foreclosure listings when they pulled comps, which doesn’t seem exactly fair to me. Any info would be great. Thanks.
