Can someone define these terms to a student researching foreclosures?

foreclosures
Ryan T asked:


I compiled a list of foreclosures off realtytrac.com and I am doing a demographic study of the affected zip code. The web site differentiates between the following terms:

Pre-foreclosure; Auction; Bank-owned; FSBO; Resale

Any knowledge at what determines the housing status would be greatly appreciated, it doesnt have to be too detailed, I just want to be able to filter what I need.

    Pre-foreclosure - this means the bank has given the owners a chance to become current on an overdue mortgage.
    Auction: home is foreclosed and going to public auction.
    Bank-owned: the bank has foreclosed and taken back legal ownership of the property.
    FSBO: For Sale By Owner
    Resale: Being sold after prior ownership.

    Pre-foreclosure would be a house that is currently behind in payments, but not yet in foreclosure.

    Auction would be a house that was foreclosed and auctioned off to the highest bidder.

    Bank-owned would be a house that was foreclosed and the bank has taken back ownership of the house. It hasn’t yet been sold or auctioned.

    FSBO - For Sale By Owner

    Resale - not sure the context, but probably means it was sold one way or other.
