The Culpeper Star Exponent carried an update on the local housing market yesterday. If you've been regularly reading this blog you won't be surprised by most of what you read there! Wish they'd made the reference to this blog a hot link!

People charging money to "help" distressed homeowners with short sale and/or foreclosure information scum! This article over the weekend in the Washington Post talks about this racket.

Why I want to be the Rickie Lee Jones of real estate blogging!

There was a story in yesterday's Culpeper Start Exponent about a couple in Culpeper county who are losing their home to foreclosure. It's just one of the many painful stories out there. This couple is right in saying they're not alone. Not even close!

The article also briefly discusses where the foreclosures are concentrated. As you'd expect, most of them are in the recent developments in Culpeper. Lakeview, the largest of those developments, is the hardest hit. But the other new developments along 522 aren't far behind.
