A news report in USA Todaythe other day showed a (Chart: Under Water Chart ) where home owners across America are under water on their mortgages. Of course we all know that California, Nevada and Flordia make the list. But did you realize that Prince William County Virginia is ranked #26 on that chart!
According to the report 47.4% of Prince William County Virginia homeowners are now underwater on their mortgages.
A news reporter called quoting this figure, like this was big news or something. I choose not to meet him, it was 7pm at night, dark outside. Seriously, we live here...we know exactly how bad the real estate market hit Dale City, Woodbridge and the Manassas Virginia area since 2008. No one has to rub salt in the wounds or make homeowners feel any more stressed than they already do.
"Please...let ne shed a ray of sunshine on this. The local news media always lead with the bad stuff. I believe homeowners need some glimmer of hope."

In the past year,I have sat across the settlement table on a lot of real estate transactions. I witnessed one of my homeowners writing a check for $17,000 to sell her home who could not qualify to sell by short sale. I've witnessed other sellers who have collected good sized equity checks at the closing table. I've also helped many short sale sellers sell and not have to pay one dime at the settlement table.
