IL foreclosures down 3.5% in July

I saw in the Tribune this morning that Illinois home foreclosure activity fell 3.5 percent in July compared to the previous month. RealtyTrac (a company that tracks these statistics) attributes the decreases in many states to paperwork processing delays as well as national and state efforts to help homeowners prevent foreclosure and stay in their homes.

I think many more people are also realzing the benefits of a short sale - which is NOT the same as a foreclosure. If you are a homeowner struggling to make payments, give my office a call so we can discuss your options.
