Google Maps has an interesting and (somewhat) new feature that allows users to find Boston real estate foreclosures for free:
1.) Go to https://maps.google.com
2.) In the upper right corner of the map click the “more” button and select “real estate”
3.) A menu appears in the upper left pane of the web page with “for sale” homes pre-selected by default.
4.) Un-check “for sale” and check only “foreclosure”
5.) Zoom in and out and click/drag on the map as desired to see foreclosures in a specific Boston area.
I was suprised to see that Beacon Hill has a handful of foreclosure listings.
