I remember the anticipation of summer as a kid. I could barely sit still waiting to be released from school for the summer. I could not wait to go to camps and play all summer long.

Here is a link to the Asheville Parks & Recreation, WNC Camp Expo and the YMCA summer schedules. Enjoy!

Foreclosure Sales Tumble in Q1

May 30, 2013

According to RealtyTrac, Sales of U.S. homes in foreclosure fell in the first quarter.

There were 190,121 properties sold that were in the foreclosure process or already seized by lenders, down 18 percent from the last quarter of 2012 and a decrease of 22 percent from the first quarter the year before.

That accounted for 21 percent of all home sales, down from 25 percent in the first quarter of 2012. It was also well off the peak of 45 percent seen during the first quarter of 2009 as the housing market was still reeling from its collapse and the global financial crisis.

“We’re on our way back to a normal housing market when it comes to foreclosures,” said Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac.
