Foreclosures

Foreclosure Help for NC

This is a re-post of a previous blog entry. Based on the number of people I am meeting looking for loan modifications it is worth having as a separate page.  I’ll update it with client experiences and hopefully success stories.

The often heard projections for this year have been record foreclosures.  Since foreclosures sell for lower than market prices the net affect is downward pressure on the market.  The good news for NC is the $95M award that the NC Housing Finance Agency received to help forestall foreclosure.

According to the Business Journal, “Since North Carolina’s “Foreclosure Project” went into action, the initiation of foreclosure proceedings has declined by nearly 50 percent across the state. Foreclosures statewide from Jan. 1 through Feb. 28 numbered 5,324, down by 47 percent from the 10,135 filed during a comparable period in 2008″.
