Home Values Keep Falling

In Uncategorized on April 22, 2011 at 9:38 am

Local property values fell by eight percent compared with last year’s values. This from a new report by the Hamilton County Auditor. Values declined in nearly every county neighborhood. Other reports show that home sales and prices continue to fall across the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region. Forty-five percent of all sales in March were lenders selling properties recently in foreclosure or a short sale.

All this is bad news from people trapped with a house payment that can no longer afford. Declining values make it more difficult to borrow or sell their homes.

Bankruptcy can help in a couple of ways. Chapter 13 gives people a way to catch up missed house payments. It some cases it allows the home owner to eliminate a second mortgage. Chapter 7 protects the owner from the mortgage debt if the owner wants to give up the house.
