It would appear that the lenders have now been cleared to foreclose at will on late paying mortgage 
customers. Based on recent activities within the area, and short sales that our office is currently working, homes that we were told were not going to the county foreclosure sale for months yet, have been placed on the list for September. I ran numbers yesterday and we are up 46% in foreclosure count from August of 2009.
The impact of this practice if continued, could be disastrous on property values. Our market has been fairly strong since the spring here with the buyers very active and properly priced properties moving in 30-60 days. We are encouraging our sellers that have been on the fence to list now rather than wait to hopefully beat any downturn in values that may be ahead resulting from increased forclosure activity. If you are considering selling, call us sooner rather than later. In recent months, our listings have been selling quickly and at 99%+ of list price.
