Recent reports indicate the number of real estate foreclosures nationwide could increase by about 25% this year. This does not mean, of course, that 25% of loans will go into default. Less than 1% of loans nationwide have been going into foreclosure, so that is the number being used as the basis. So, this 1% could increase to about 1.25% of the total in the coming year.
Not to prey on misfortune, but it could be a year to watch for some good opportunities in foreclosures. In order to be most effective buying foreclosures, you will need to be able to buy without contingencies and offer a quick closing to the foreclosing entity (lender).
Due to our strong and diverse economy, I don't anticipate this much of an increase in the Wenatchee real estate market. But, we will watch the trend and see what happens. I'll try to post the foreclosure inventory occasionally.
