This question is about foreclosed properties. I am not sure if this depends on the state (I am in California), but it is not a personal question, I'm just curious. I have noticed that many foreclosed properties, the banks will list low (a bit over what was due on the loan), but they really aren't willing to sell it at that price. They attract multiple bidders and if they don't get what they want then, they drag it out forever until they can get well over what the list price was. So where does the excess money go? Does it go to the person who foreclosed? If it does, then why do they even care about getting the extra money when they don't keep it?
