DC Area Foreclosure Assistance Mobile Text Service by CAFN

Regional Community Service Announcement

TEXT HOME or CASA to 877-877

The Capital Area Foreclosure Network (CAFN) very recently announced the launch of a new foreclosure prevention text messaging service. The service will provide those in or worried about foreclosure with access to advice, reminders, and alerts through their mobile phones in either Spanish or English. The goals of the campaign are to increase the number of homeowners and renters that get help from a nonprofit housing counselor, and decrease the number of people who drop out of counseling.

---

TEXT HOME or CASA to 877-877

Parties can opt-in to the service by using their mobile device to text message HOME or CASA to 877-877, and will then immediately receive critical information and a hotline number to use when they are ready to connect to a counselor at a HUD approved counseling organization.

---

After opting in, mobile subscribers will receive periodic reminders, information about foreclosure prevention programs available in their jurisdiction, such as the new mediation programs in D.C. and Maryland, follow-up instructions, alerts to scams, financial literacy tips, and much more.

Prince William, Loudoun and Northern Virginia Foreclosure Real Estate Update

While a majority of this year's business so far has been carried by foreclosure activity, particularly in Prince William County areas of Northern Virginia, there has been a shift developing in the availability and attractiveness (in price) of the homes available on the market.

Some may see the slowdown and "stabilization" of the Northern Virginia foreclosure market as a positive trend in the housing market - while this is true to some degree, it's mostly an inventory release slowdown driven by banks who do see opportunities to improve their returns. Major holders of foreclosed assets including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have significantly slowed their release of foreclosures onto the Northern Virginia market, thereby driving demand up a bit among first-time buyers and investors, and therefore prices.

We don't anticipate a significant surge in prices for foreclosures; there are thousands more to be released, along with many homeowners wishing to sell still waiting on the sidelines. This means while the inventory is being somewhat artificially constrained, it nonetheless remains a large inventory and therefore still a supply-driven (with depressed pricing) market.

What does this mean to you? Don't rush to buy - choose your home or investment wisely, for long-term gains (which will eventually come); it's still a buyer's market out there, and there are many great deals to come!
