debbie hutchins: 2008 Inventory Re Cap.....Can we get together? - 12/29/08 12:20 PM

 
As we approach the end of 2008 and go through the process of "cleaning out our closets", I decided it would be a great time for a Re Cap of the Listing Inventory that I have "on the shelf" and refresh your memories on these properties to see if there might be some interest.
We are still receiving daily information that Interest Rates are still at Historical Lows and these are all great properties that you may want to consider.
So let's browse back through these previous posts
and see if something SPARKS your eye!

debbie hutchins: Saving the Great American Dream! - 12/19/08 06:40 PM
 
There are 13349 homes on the market in the Greater Birmingham area today and of those 1517 are foreclosed properties.
Statistics show there are 6 major reasons for foreclosure
                              1. Loss of Income                              2. Death of a Borrower                              3. Divorce                              4. Over Extended Credit                              5. Illness                              6. Gambling
Understanding the Foreclosure Process could possibly help to prevent some of these foreclosures from ever taking place.  There are three types of foreclosure proceedings -
          Non Judicial, Judicial, and Strict
Alabama is a non judicial state which means that No Court Action is Required.  A Power of Sale clause is … (3 comments)
