According to a recent article in the LA Times, 70% of home sales in Las Vegas were in connection with foreclosures.
This is an astounding number. However, hopefully it will start to go down thanks to Nevada’s Foreclosure Mediation Program enacted earlier this year.
Under the program, any homeowner who received a foreclosure notice July 1, 2009 or later can request a mandatory foreclosure mediation session with a representative from their mortgage lender. A professional foreclosure mediator will be in attendance. And the homeowner can (and should) bring a lawyer as well.
