    DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH!

    Real Estate agents specializing in foreclosures are keeping quite busy these
    days. In a down market such as this, buyers can usually find quite a few
    bargains. But according to an article that came out today in Realtor Magazine
    Daily Real Estate News, even though foreclosures are up, bargains are hard to
    find! Foreclosure_2

    DataQuick Information Services, a company that has tracked real estate
    transactions since 1988, says

    "recent sales found no pattern of foreclosure properties regularly
    selling for less than comparable homes."John Karevoll, an
    analyst for DataQuick says."There may be some deals out there, but I’m not
    sure they’re as many or as good as the perception".  And, Christopher
    Cagan, director of research and analytics for First American CoreLogic, a real
    estate information company says "things have changed as foreclosures have
    increased, in general, the discounts right now are modest".
