What do FReepers make of this? I'm seeing more and more empty houses. None of which are placed on the market for sale. It's getting to be unnerving.

I'm telling people to wait and watch the market and to buy only if they want to commit to the financial future of the state. The latter makes their eyes go wide.

I’m telling you... the Obama Admin. is using the guise of social engineering to offer foreclosed homes to those who still can’t afford them.

All I know is, on a daily basis in the central florida area, there are homemade signs “For Sale” sings on the side of the road that range anywhere from $27,000, up to $60,000 (cash). The signs don’t stay up long.

I think many may be waiting for summer when the demand for housing will be greater. Look for foreclosures to begin shortly around the time school lets out for summer when families begin relocating.

Heh. And all this time 0bama has been telling us that we're turning a corner.

He might be right.

U.S. Economy: Peaches And Cream Or Gloom And Doom?

the banks stopped taking possession and forcing the occupants onto the street.

this is an attempt to keep the value of the properties up, as the number of homes on the market would be rather large. also, homes would fall into disrepair if not lived in... thereby lowering their value.

Instead of short- sales most of all homeowners in foreclosures qualify for the Modification programs due to decrease in income, increase in expenses, has their mortgage payment over 31% of their monthly gross income! That would be major qualifications for a modification! Dont lose your homes to short-sales when you could very well meet the guidelines for the Home Affordable Modification or Traditional Modification programs. I help families every day to keep their homes and I would be happy to give you some other alternatives to saveing your homes. Also, make sure what ever company you do look into is licensed!! Beware of scams.... there are too many families falling into the wrong hands! If you have any questions or need some advice, I would be glad to help in any way! May God bless you all!
