3 Lenders Prefer Investor Sale Over Taking Back Foreclosed Property In January 212, 1,571 properties were sold to investors at the foreclosure auction compared to 1,317 being taking back by the lender. This was the fourth month in a row that lenders sold more single family properties to investors at trustee's sale auctions (foreclosure auctions) than the number of foreclosures (properties going back to the lender). When a property is auctioned at the trustee's sale one of two actions take place: The property is purchased by a third party or goes back to the lender. Most of the third party purchases are investors, so I call these purchases investor sales.
