According to Wikipedia, that's a compliment.

You can't possibly be judging berretafan harshly over this, can you? The bank took the house not bf. Also, you don't know the house's history. For one - a $125k "dream house"? Maybe. But....., maybe it was a failed investment. Maybe it was owned by someone who died. Maybe it was a college kid who let things slip. Maybe it was a family trying to live the American dream and they all had those big, "Precious Moments" eyes with a single tear running down their cheeks as they were ushered out into the cold by the man. There are a lot of maybes. Regardless, the house was for sale, the previous owner(s) were long gone, and bf bought it. Good for him. Maybe the former owner can rent it from him for less than they were paying before.
