Rock Hill SC Foreclosure News

SSCadmin — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 18:10:35 +0000

A recent study released by RealtyTrac, a nationwide real estate data collection and analysis firm, reports that most foreclosures last year were packed into a very small number of counties in just a handful of states.Â Â In fact, more than 1/2 of the nation’s foreclosures took place in just 35 counties across the country, a sign that the current housing crisis began in a few small corners of the country.

As one would expect, California and Florida led the way in foreclosures actions, and it was these 2 states that caused Wachovia Corp, the banking giant that was headquartered in nearby Charlotte NC, to falter considerably, paving the way for Wells Fargo to come in and purchase the bank late last year.

Fortunately, here in Rock Hill SC and For Mill SC we’ve been quite lucky in the fact that the number of foreclosures have remained relatively low, especially in comparison to other areas.

While President Obama’s recently revealed plan to help the mortgage crisis calls for some $75B worth of aid, it is sure to some significant challenges, especially given this revelation that much of the foreclosure activity is centered in small pockets across the country.

In a trend that has been happening for some time now, people looking to either buy or sell real estate (and not just in the Rock Hill SC or Fort Mill SC areas) continue to go online to conduct much of their research before making any decisions.Â With the increased usage by most of the Internet, it should not really come as a suprise that so many people go online to check out neighborhoods, find and research real estate agents, and even ‘hunt for houses’ before actually going out to ‘hunt for houses’.

The Internet makes it so convenient to pinpoint an area, look for homes that meet a specified criteria, and then get all the nitty-gritty details on the homes.Â Of course that same can be said for getting information on a real estate agent, or a school district, or any other of the countless reasons why people buy a particular home.
