Melanie - great to see you posting some really helpful information.  I like how you included your links to the other cities you have written about! Nice!  Thanks for sharing this information.  :-)

Brad,  thanks!!  I was cruising on your blogs to see about updating my profile.  People have all that stuff on the side and want to do something.  So I am searching and learning.

Let me know if you need help.  Be careful not to add too much stuff, it will really slow down your Blog.  I had to get rid of a bunch of things on my AR Blog.  I have moved them to my outside Blog and Website where they seem to work fine. If you want to look at what I have available for REALTORS®, just give me a jingle!  Happy Holidays...time to hit the hay!  :-)

Melanie, It's funny when I think of Napa I never think of foreclosures in that area---your post was an eye opener, thank you for sharing it.

Carole,  You are so right, it does happen everywhere - to all walks of life.  As a Realtor I am empathetic to the ones who lose their homes, and from an another standpoint, want the homes to be filled with people again. That is one element of a healthy city and economy.
