Thank you all so much! I am feeling so blessed right now, it's rather humbling.
For those of you who asked I was looking on the MLS online daily but kept thinking I was missing something since so many of the foreclosed homes around here weren't on the MLS. I went to the websites of the VA, FHA etc and somehow found out about Fannie Mae and voila! There was this really nice property that was not on the MLS. It had just been reduced in price to something we thought was doable but by the time we called the listing realtor she said it wasn't available since it was going to be auctioned. We still called our realtor about it and he arranged for us to go out and look at it. I then started checking the auction company's website and saw it was finally scheduled for auction. You know the rest of the story.
If you're interested in checking in your area, Fannie Mae's website to see the homes is http://www.homepath.com/. VA homes can be found at https://va.equator.com/index.cfm? FHA homes can be found at http://hudhomestore.com/HudHome/Index.aspx.
If you are remotely thinking about it, I'd check it out. There was another property auctioned that night that was 4+ acres and a 1000 sq ft home that went for $35,000! It did need a lot of cosmetic work (carpet, doors, appliances, etc) but $35,000? That's less than a lot of cars for sale now!
