My Life as a Realtor!

I thought that this statistic was pretty impressive. We hear all this doom and gloom about the Market. Everyone is in Foreclosure and the world is coming to an end. On the flip side to this we hear that you can go out and find a foreclosure on every street in the nation. This what I heard today might change your mind. I have been telling you that there are not a lot of homes in foreclosure for months. Now RealtyTrac has my back.


Foreclosure Numbers For May!


RealtyTrac reported their May Numbers for foreclosures nationwide. And it is not pretty on the surface. According to them, “foreclosures were up 48% in May from the year earlier to a record of 261,255- which is up 7% from April. That represents 1 in 487 homes.”


And if we just listen to the headlines we think, WOW, this is bad. But do the math for a minute, divide 1 by 487-you get .21% right? That means 2/10ths of 1% of all homeowners in this country are in some stage of foreclosure process. That number is surprising isn’t it?

Yes, 99.8% of ALL homes nationwide are NOT in foreclosure! WOW.

Can you hear me now? GOOD!

Now I'm not one to gloat, but I Told You So! If you are the one that is in some sort of the .21% let me know so I can help you out before it gets to late to save you and to keep your home out. You know you can trust me.

Here are the quoats! Have a great day.

"All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with
another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change
you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are
looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration.
You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming
him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is
making you unhappy."
-- Wayne Dyer, Teacher
