Both refer to properties owned by lenders. Usually acquired by foreclosure.

REO=Real estate owned.

I believe OREA is owned real estate asset.

In California at least, OREA stands for Office of Real Estate Appraisers. The state office that deals with licensing etc.

Brick;

For appraisers, REO also means extra work (interior photos, listings on a grid, cost to cure deferred maintenance, and usually 4 values- as is with typical marketing period, as repaired with typical marketing period, as is with limited marketing period, and as repaired with limited marketing period.) Usually twice the time to complete, therefore twice the fee as a typical URAR.
