What percent of recorded deeds are sheriff’s deeds? See video of James Dries, as he explains.
One in eight deeds that have been recorded in 2009 are foreclosure deeds. The number of sheriff’s deeds recorded in 2009 lag behind those recorded in 2008. Anticipated 2009 county tax revenues will be about $1,000,000 as compared to $4,000,000 in the recent past, according to James Dries of Washtenaw County. Transfer taxes are not collected on sheriff’s deeds. That combined with real estate price declines account for tax reduction revenues. Will the recent deferral laws stall the foreclosure inventory coming on the market? Is the market stabilized? Watch James monthly reports as we do to find out the most recent trends.
