Register Ashe's Fiscal Year Forecast

It is that time of year again, when Register of Deeds, Donald E. Ashe hosts his bi-annual real estate forecast. The forecast is a press release held at the Registry of Deeds detailing figures including documents recorded and revenue collected. Foreclosures have been a topic of interest for the past year and a half, and will remain a topic of interest for this forecast.

"While this recession has been more severe and longer than prior ones since the 1930's, it does have one thing in common with them; they all ended, and this one will too," assures Register Ashe.

The full real estate forecast, along with graphics, will be available on our homepage during the next week. Stay tuned!
