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.
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.

Wondering how many foreclosures there are in the Springfield MLS system compared to non-distressed homes?
By the end of 2011, there was a total of 3874 homes on the market, with 312 that had sold. Out of the 312 that sold, 99 were foreclosures. That makes up about a third of the market.
Predictions are this year foreclosures will increase across the country and become half the sold properties in 2012.
Not good news for distressed home owners. But many can be saved if the seller's will contact a real estate agent and market their homes as a Short Sale, saving the homeowner from foreclosure and helping the economy recover faster.
How does this help the local economy? If a homeowner successfully completes a Short Sale, within 2 years they will be able to re-enter the real estate market and purchase another home, instead of renting. A foreclosure will keep them from buying for 7 to 10 years.
Home ownership has been the backbone of our country for years. If you are thinking of Short Selling your Springfield Missouri home, contact me as soon as possible. We can help you save your credit and successfully sell you Springfield Mo Short Sale.
