The biggest percentage increase occured in the Bronx, where the number increased from 47 to 83. Overall, the rate of foreclosures per household in New York City was much more favorable than in Seattle, Los Angeles and Miami, the other three cities measured for the report.
I guess if I keep saying that the world is coming to an end, eventually another asteroid will hit the planet and I’ll look like a psychic. The problem is, there will be nothing but deep sea vent tube worms and cockroaches around to tell me how right I was. Markets rise and fall, that’s their nature. Get used to it.
LOL, If I got a dollar every time someone said the market is dead in the last 6 years, I could by a Brownstone on a park block in the Slope.
RIP stock market rally too. Probably crash in October like 1929 & 1987.
I work for CurrentForeclosures.com, a foreclosures site and have seen a huge increase in the number of foreclosures in the past 7 months. I believe it is a combination of not only sub-prime and ARM mortgages, but also the high number of people who have gotten loans with interest rates at an all time low… in addition to the rapid depreciation in some areas and the difficulty some are experiencing in selling their homes.
The beginning of the end. RIP Real Estate.

I am not sure if this accurately indicates the situation out there as the foreclosure process in NY ia a very very long and drwan out process sometimes taking as much as 6 months. During this time a seller in distress can get a forced sale or something like that. in other places of the country most notably Texas, the foreclosure process can take as little as 30 days from start to finish.
