“A” is a pretty good grade, no?

1% of homes in the US are in foreclosure … and that means 99% are not. Not to diminish the very real problems that exist, but 99% is not terrible. Virginia is ranked #24 in the country. It’s easy to see the “sky is falling” headline (and the sky is falling for many). It’s harder to see the less-dramatic positive news.
