South Central Missouri has not seen the high rate of foreclosures like other parts of the country. Our office receives calls daily for people looking for REO and bank owned properties. Sometimes, I don't think they believe me when I tell them we do not have pages and pages of foreclosed homes.

Looking at the residential stats for this year compared to last, the Lebanon, MO area clearly has not seen a huge negative decrease. I think this is a prime example of what the media is missing: Real Estate is REGIONAL. 

**  "Sold" totals are just that - what someone paid for a piece of property. This is not a total of what the property was listed for.
