Buyers Are Missing The Foreclosure Bubble - Springfield Mo Foreclosures

Over the past few years, the Springfield Missouri real estate market has been saturated with foreclosures. In the middle of this foreclosure crisis, there's good news.

Greene County Foreclosure statistics for 2009 - 2011

The number of foreclosures have dropped significantly since 2009.

Many of the foreclosures in 2009 was attributed to local real estate scams, forcing many homeowners to lose their Greene county real estate.

I can not track the number of short sales, but I do attribute the drop in foreclosures for 2011 to homeowners aggressively pursuing short sales.

More and more sellers are finding out that short sales can help them salvage their credit much faster than a foreclosure. Short sales can also help them purchase a home sooner than a foreclosure.

If you or any one you know is considering a short sale, contact the "K" Team to get your FREE initial consultation. We have helped over a 100 families avoid foreclosure, you are not alone.
