Happy Holidays from your Western MA REALTOR!

The holiday season is a happy, although hectic time of year in Western Massachusetts and beyond. I want to make sure to send my wishes for the very best the holidays can bring your family this year!

As we move into 2011, it is my honor to be entering my 23rd year as a real estate agent in Western Massachusetts. At this time of year, I enjoy reflecting back on my clients and spend time thinking how they might be enjoying the holidays in their home. Although we don’t always have time to see one another, you are in my thoughts always and I am only a phone call or email away if you want to say hello!

Happy Holidays and thank you for your friendship and business. I appreciate our relationship.

I hope you enjoy this video as a virtual holiday card from my family to yours!

Foreclosures Drop in Massachusetts

While we are certainly not out of the woods for foreclosure rates in Massachusetts,  Banker and Tradesman reported that in October, 557 foreclosure deeds were recorded, down more than 39 percent from 914 in October 2009.

Is this good news for home owners in Western Massachusetts?

Well, certainly any time the number of foreclosures and filings drop, it is better than if they rise, but it probably isn’t time to celebrate just yet.

As quoted from the article referenced above,”While the decreases in foreclosure volume are welcoming, we should not be fooled into thinking that foreclosure problems are behind us,” Warren added. “Due to job and economic conditions, many homeowners are delinquent on their mortgages and those problems will eventually find their way into foreclosure statistics.”.

The temporary decrease may be connected to lenders forestalling foreclosure proceedings to double check their paperwork, but I am tying my wagon on hope’s tail and thinking positive that we may have an indication of better times ahead.

In the meantime, if you are in danger of foreclosure in Western Massachusetts, I am here to help.  I have years of experience in short sale assistance and would love to help you move on past this financial trouble.  Give me a call:
