Foreclosure reduces the value of a home by 27 percent on average, according to a new study from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

An estate sale after an owner’s death reduces the price of the home by only 5 percent to 7 percent. A bankruptcy filing cuts the value by an average 3 percent.
Homeowners need us more than ever. This is just additional evidence why distressed homeowners need to be informed so they can make an educated decision and be provided with options.
