(MENAFNEditorial) WALTHAM, Mass., April 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --This month's Pro Teck Valuation Services Home Value Forecast explores the impact foreclosures have on the nation's top housing markets.
Traditionally, foreclosures as a percentage of market sales on a healthy market will be 3-5%, anything over 10% will have a marked effect on price appreciation.
