Are foreclosures a growing problem in Harrisonburg?
Several people have recently asked if I started this web site because of the growing problem with foreclosures in the Harrisonburg area. In fact, that is not the case — foreclosures in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County continue to take place at a very slow rate — much slower than the other parts of Virginia and the country as a whole. This is terrific, as foreclosure is typically not an option that a homeowner hopes to end up with when they buy a home.
So — why did I create HarrisonburgForeclosures.com?
- I author another blog, all about the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County real estate market — at www.HarrisonburgHousingToday.com. I realized that much of that reading audience didn’t necessarily have an interest in foreclosure properties. Thus, by creating HarrisonburgForeclosures.com, I was able to segment out that content.
- I hope to educate homeowners and the general public about the foreclosure process in Virginia. If you have questions about it, feel free to e-mail me (scott@harrisonburghousingtoday.com) or leave it in the comment section below.
- I work with many real estate investors who are looking for good buying opportunities, and while foreclosures sometimes provide a great opportunity, it is often difficult to find good information about them. On HarrisonburgForeclosures.com, I will be sorting through all of the foreclosure properties that I am aware of, and presenting those with the best possibilities.
As an aside — if you are facing the possibility of foreclosure yourself, feel free to call (540-578-0102) or e-mail (scott@harrisonburghousingtoday.com) me. I’d be glad to answer any questions that you may have to the best of my ability.
