The foreclosure rate is fluctuating in the first of
the new year, as Real Estate Executives in some markets
are reporting a drop while others are experiencing significant
gains.
These fluctuations mark an excellent time for investors
to dive into the market.
The real estate firm Default Research reports that in
locations like Michigan, Real Estate Executives are experiencing
an 8 percent decrease in foreclosures, while Washington
state is been hit by a 15 percent increase.
“There are no sure bets now when it comes to which
states experience an increase or decrease in foreclosure
activity,” explained Serdar Bankaci, president
and chief executive officer of Default Research, Inc.
According to Bankaci, two states hit hard in 2006 by
foreclosures – Florida and California – are
experiencing the opposite effect in 2007.
“Just last year, most areas of the country were
suffering with foreclosure activity,” Bankaci said. “Now,
unfortunately, the country is in a national housing slump,
which produces decreased home sales and reductions in
home prices.”
According to Bankaci, this recent dip in home sales
combined with a leveling off and stabilizing of interest
rates, provides an excellent opportunity to make money
in the housing market now.
“Investors can find a home for below market value
and they can really profit,” he advises.
