If you were waiting for a lots of foreclosures to hit the market before you buy you may miss out. Banks are giving sellers incentives to do short sales to get the homes back to market value with new buyers and new loans. Foreclosure accomplishes the same as a short sale in the long run but with huge expenses both during the foreclosure process and during the holding/selling process. Recent announcements are very clear and for those who are selling a home with a short sale they can get back into the market within 2 years with little damage to their credit. If you know someone who is upside down on a home please share this with them. Foreclosure solutions
