Many websites include foreclosures. Unfortunately, they may not include the most recent information, which would include the status, as of the day you are looking. We are located in Franklin County, Virginia and foreclosure notices are printed in The Franklin News Post and The Roanoke Times. You may wish to visit the Franklin County Court House, where you may search the property address and find the foreclosure notice which contains information about the lender(s) and the attorney handling the case. An experienced REALTOR may be helpful, as well. - Thu May 8 2008, 11:33

In Rocky Mount, Virginia (Franklin County), many of our listing prices have decreased by 14% over the past 3 months. These properties represent REAL sellers and they're beginning to see more activity. It's hard for a seller, who just purchased a home 2 years ago to walk away from the closing table today leaving a check instead of receiving one. However, if that makes a difference in paying 2 mortgages because of a job transfer, etc., we must move on and not dwell on what happened in the past. Sellers MUST be willing to negotiate when buyers come along, because we're not sure when the next opportunity may arise. Buyers are out there; however, many are sitting on the fence because of an unstable economy and high fuel prices. Our housing inventory is terrific, interest rates are great, creative loans are still available even without subprime, and REALTORS must give good pricing advice (even when owners don't want to hear it). Properties priced right are definitely selling! 80% of our buyers must sell before they can make a purchase. Therefore, let's price them right and get the cycle going again! - Thu Apr 3 2008, 15:20
