Homeowners are still getting mortgages so why the media hype?
It's no doubt you may have heard news stories claiming people cannot get a mortgage unless they put 20% or more down.  Perhaps you heard that homeowners need to have a minimum of a 720 FICO credit score or worse, maybe someone told you that banks and lenders are just not lending anymore until the dust settles. 
It's a sad sad day in America where we pay any attention to the media much less believe it.  By the way, if you DO believe the media, I have some bridges in the desert … (0 comments)

                                        Imperial County Foreclosure Sale List 10/04/2008** Writers note: September Notice of Trustee Sale notices declined approx 20% from August, however September numbers represent 100% increase in foreclosure postings from 2007.Although a smaller amount of Notice of Default and Notice of Trustee Sale notices were filed during September may be classified as the beginning of the end of tumultulous foreclosure activity, the author feels this slight downturn represents a combination of lenders more willing to participate in loan modifications, or the implementation of an additional 30 day wait period of mortgage lenders to find solutions before issuing such notices of foreclosure.
