Ohio Home Foreclosures "the sun will come out tomorrow"

By
Real Estate Agent with HER Realtors

 

rain coat girl with umbrellaI was reading the latest news about national home foreclosures from Realty Trac online. Well skimming the article is more like it...  I skimmed "Realtytrac Feb forclosures rise setback market"  anyway...

I skim for Ohio...  my eyes caught the state and regions in the headlines.

I saw California, Nevada, Florida... over and over as I skimmed.   I saw Arizona but I did not see Ohio... as I skimmed... when  "Sunbelt cities post top metro foreclosure rates" I was thinking the news was not that gloomy for Ohio and they, those sunbelt cities... have sun... we sometimes don't see it for days... here in Central Ohio...

Unfortunately I saw just above "Sunbelt cities post top metro foreclosure rates"  for highest foreclosure totals: 

"Other states with foreclosure rates ranking among the nation’s 10 highest were Florida, Idaho, Michigan, Illinois, Georgia, Oregon and Ohio."

Darn!

And looking at "top state foreclosure rates" in the unbold print... Ohio made the top ten list  there as well...

The article on Huliq News questions if the numbers are  old news, reflecting last fall, or if it reflects NOW..

Looking for a good deal in real estate?  No time like the present...  the sun will come out tomorrow.  There are short sales and foreclosed (bank owned) properties in some of the nicest areas... Worthington, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Westerville....

Hey Maureen,

  I have learned that misery loves company.  One of the questions that I always ask at my seminars in Ohio is 'who is the #1 state in the country in foreclosures' and it never fails -- everyone always says Ohio.  I could see the disbelief on the faces of everyone when I say that we are not leading the way and that it is worse elsewhere.  Suffice it to say, people like to blame their lack of business or numbers to the market around them.  Many have told me that those who are still successful are simpy lucky.  I have always tried to stress that luck is when preparation meets opportunity (ok fine, i stole that line)...

good to see you here...

I think it is true.  Misery loves company and your last line, borrowed or not.
