Foreclosure Volume Expected to Increase Later this Year

Local bank managers in the Northeast Georgia Board of Realtors service area expect to see numbers of foreclosures and short sales entering the market decrease later this year. This good news for sellers in the Blue Ridge, Ellijay, Hiawassee GA, Murphy NC and nearby areas in the Smoky Mountains. With less inventory on the market, resales should see increased sales activity later this year too.
