$6,500 is the amount lenders spend, on average in dollars, on the properties that they improve after foreclosure and before sale. Not surprisingly, properties in high-priced areas get higher-priced renovations, with lenders spending the most in “higher-priced markets” like Denver, Los Angeles, Portland, Raleigh, and Washington D.C[1].
