Lead Types in Ward County

Pre-Foreclosure

Homeowners in Ward County named in a foreclosure filing who still hold the deed. This is the window before the auction, while an equity sale is still on the table. Owner and property data from public records.

Divorce

Divorcing owners in Ward County with real property to divide. The home is usually the largest shared asset and has to be sold or bought out, often on the court's timeline. Owner and property data from public records.

Probate

Open probate cases in Ward County with real property in the estate. Heirs often look to sell rather than manage, maintain, or carry the taxes on an inherited home. Owner and property data from public records.

Guardianship

Court-appointed guardianship cases in Ward County involving the real property of an incapacitated owner. A guardian usually needs the court's approval to sell it. Owner and property data from public records.

About Ward County

Ward County is a smaller local market: the county’s roughly 32,400 housing units run 62% owner-occupied against a median value of $259,100, the kind of settled homeownership base that reliably produces distressed-property filings. Our off-market leads from public court records put motivated sellers in Ward County in front of you the same day they're filed.

Ward County at a glance

What makes the Ward County market different

  • 13% of housing units in Ward County stand vacant, against 10% nationally. An empty house still carries taxes, insurance and upkeep, and owners who inherited one or moved away are often ready to talk about selling.
  • Ward County is younger than the country as a whole: 14% of residents are 65 or older (U.S.: 17%). Younger owners are more likely to carry a mortgage and to move for work or family.
  • Only 53% of homes in Ward County are single-family detached houses (U.S.: 61%). Apartments, attached homes and mobile homes make up more of the housing, so check the property type before you value a deal.
  • HUD sets the fair market rent for a 3-bedroom home for the Minot, ND area at $1,458 a month, against a median home value of $259K in Ward County. Set those two side by side to judge whether a buy-and-hold rental pencils out before you make an offer.
