Short Sales: Banks Blocking Way Out of Foreclosure Crisis
Brett Ellis, a real estate agent in Fort Myers, Fla., was thrilled when he got an offer for a property in Bell Tower Park in May 2008.
"It was a gorgeous property on the corner lot," Ellis told the Huffington Post. The owner, who had lost his job, wanted to sell the apartment for a loss rather than go into foreclosure, a strategy known as a short sale.

Those hoping for a sign that southern New Jersey’s real estate market has bottomed out didn’t find it in Tuesday’s report from the National Association of Realtors, which showed home prices in Atlantic County 21 percent lower than a year ago.
There was no “green shoot” — current economist lingo for a seedling of positive news — in the April RealtyTrac foreclosure report either. Foreclosure filings increased 28 percent in Atlantic County, 15 percent in Cape May County, 12 percent in Cumberland County and 18 percent in Ocean County.

It got worse when they asked their insurer for help — and not only was their claim denied, but they've been told their entire policy won't be renewed.

We just moved into our new house (a sprawling foreclosure), so I had free reign with this room! As you can see in the before photo, the room was dull, dingy, and needed lots of TLC.
My goal was to use black and white in a tasteful way to help the baby's visual development.
