Happy May Day!  Looking Forward To A Great Summer!

We've already had a great first quarter.  Our office is showing that 25% of our sold Springfield Mo real estate are foreclosures, 25% are short sales and the remaining 50% are normal sales.
 
 
In the past foreclosures were exceeding the number of short sales that closed.  With banks changing their short sale procedures, the … (7 comments)

Taxes Increase While Homes Values Decrease  - Greene County Assessment Controversy  
Receiving a call this week, a friend let me know her real estate property assessment increased over $40,000, while the market has actually decreased in the past 4 years.  She has until the end of May to contest the increase that will affect the amount of taxes she will pay in the future.
 
Needless to say, it's a little shocking for so many residents to find themselves facing higher taxes. 
According to an article I read, Greene County is just catching up.

Getting HUD To Help Stop Charging Fees To Extend Closings When It's NOT The Buyer's Fault!

You're Telling Me I Must Bring Money To The Closing Table? Are You Not Listening!

Are they being transferred? Are they sizing down? Have they lost their jobs? Are they current with their payments?
