Home builders need help with newly constructed vacant homes

Home builders also have lots of newly constructed homes that are now vacant due to homebuyers not being able to get a home loan or credit to purchase the newly constructed housing tracts.

The increasing amount of houses in foreclosure is partly due to the slowing of housing sales and the impact of rising monthly mortgage payments of homeowners who took on adjustable rate loans and sub-prime mortgages.

High Mortgage Payments

More of the homes are out of reach for the average person who can not afford the high mortgage payments and the rise in unemployment makes it more likely that more people will enter foreclosure by the end of the year in such areas as Colorado, Nevada and Georgia, Texas and many more in California.

 What needs to be done to these vacant forclosed homes or commercial property is the same they need debris removed, cleaned out, locks changed, windows boarded up as well as lawns maintained.
