Across the region, communities continue to struggle under the weight of the national mortgage crisis. What impact does a foreclosed property have on home price appreciation and surrounding home sales prices? How are other community indicators, such as vacancy rates and crime, affected by foreclosure? What are the appropriate responses to these issues?
Join us on Thursday, Feb. 12, at 3:00 p.m. for a panel discussion that examines the impact foreclosures have on home price appreciation, surrounding home sales prices, and other community indicators such as crime and vacancy.
