The foreclosure headlines may sound alarming. Here’s why you shouldn’t panic. Far fewer homes are starting the foreclosure process today compared to 2008. So, even with the recent uptick, foreclosure starts are down about 82% from where they were in 2008. And that means we’re a long way from crash territory. Have questions about what you’re seeing on social media or in the headlines? Let’s connect.

One of the biggest seller myths floating around right now is that buyers have disappeared.
The headlines certainly make it feel that way.
But here's what the data actually says.
More homes are going under contract right now than they were at this point the last two years.
And here's how that's possible. Life doesn't wait for perfect mortgage rates. People still get married. Families grow. Jobs change.
At some point, waiting becomes harder than moving. So serious buyers still take the plunge.
So, if you've been wondering whether there are still buyers out there...
There are.
