  1. Gem;

    Majority of foreclosures are in three states: California, Nevada and Florida.

    DeLepp above cites the high job growth figures for Texas, compared to the job losses in California, New York and New Jersey.

    In the same article, the WSJ has this to say: “For business, Texas is the new California”. Gee, I recall someone saying that before…wait a minute…it was me!!

    Just wait til the congressional redistricting comes around. Texas: +4. New York: -2 seats.

    I’m sure Andrew Cuomo and his pals in the “Working Families Party” (Union hacks) will turn things around here in NY, however.

  2. Just checked – they do foreclosure data by quarter Gem, so I don’t have totals since the crisis started but I don’t think the evidence really backs up your assumptionfrom what I just looked at.
    Highest foreclosure rates are Nevada (by a mile), Arizona, california and Florida are consistently highest. Georgia is the highest southern state at about #7 or 8.
    realtytrac.com is the source. Some midwestern states in the bottom half of the top ten.

  3. Oh, Rob, if you’d ever had a personal secretary, you would change your mind about that really quickly. Personal assistants are a wonderful thing. Right up there with a chunk of warm garlic and rosemary cibatta.
