PREDICTION #4:  SHORT SALES WILL INCREASE

As mentioned in yesterday's post, we strongly believe that home prices will soften through at least the first half of 2012. Falling prices will force more homeowners into a position of negative equity.

Negative equity is one of the triggers that cause people to strategically default on their mortgage obligations.  If this happens, there could be an increase in the number of foreclosures.  However, we predict that banks will take preventative measures which will help many of these homes avoid foreclosure by easing the requirements in the short sale process for both homeowners and real estate professionals.

If we can assist you or anyone you know in the home selling process, give us a call today.
