Now Even The Affluent Home Owners Find Their Properties On Texas Foreclosure Listings

Posted on July 31st, 2008 in Texas by Mary

Though many believed that only the low and middle-income mortgage borrowers had to face foreclosure, the insatiable appreciate of this tsunami wave has started to engulf the prosperous homeowners too. Foreclosures are no longer the bane of the economically weaker sections of the U.S. society!

Dallas, Texas

Texas foreclosure listings are looking exceedingly more attractive as more million dollar homes are making their way into them. This latest trend is most noticeable in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. During the period of Jan to June 2008, over 70, $1million plus homes have already been added to the inventory thanks to foreclosure listings in Texas. Now, 70 affluent homeowners caught in the foreclosure net is almost double the number of homeowners that were caught in this net last year.

Additionally, foreclosed homes belonging to the $500,000 to $999,999 bracket have also jumped by 53%/ and those between $300,000 to $499,999 bracket have risen by 39% this year. The final figure is as scary as it is true, and reads as one per every 59 houses facing foreclosure during the period of Jan-June of this year.

Foreclosures are affecting North Texans as well. It’s more serious here, and can be blamed on the bad lending practices that offered loans to people who could not afford them. It’s no doubt that the foreclosures finding their way into the Texas foreclosure listings are a product of the sub prime lending practice. And, so there are almost 25,503 Texas foreclosure listings for the combined period of Q1 and Q2 of this year in the 4 counties of the state. Now, these foreclosures have a price that is below the average market price and with an increasing inventory, lenders are eager to find buyers for them making it the opportune time to invest in property, if you have the surplus cash.

Since Texas foreclosure listings are the outcome of the process of foreclosure, if you’d like to make an investment in these foreclosures, get the advice of foreclosure brokers. Their information is easily available over the internet and prevents you from walking around.

Increasing Foreclosures Building Up The Massachusetts Foreclosure Listings

Posted on July 30th, 2008 in Massachusetts by Johnny

Massachusetts has been taking the problem of foreclosures very seriously. Some months back, if one looked at the Massachusetts foreclosure listings, it was easy to know that there were an increasing number of people succumbing to this crisis, and some even without so much as a fight!

Boston, Massachusetts

Attorney general of Massachusetts, Martha Coakley, has every reason to be proud. There have been only 351 foreclosure filings by the lenders in the state for June this year. The reason for this is the statewide law that allows an extra 60 days to the existing default timelines. This 90 day default timeline is also known as the “right to cure” and is applicable for borrowers who are either in a single-family or have owner-occupied homes. This right to cure law took effect in April this year and has been so effective that it has lowered the numbers of homes being listed in Massachusetts foreclosure listings in only two months!

While many experts believe that this lull is only temporary and very soon the Massachusetts borrowers will give in to the financial pressures and number of foreclosures will increase not just the foreclosure listings in Massachusetts, but also nationwide foreclosure listings. Very clearly, it’s not just the Massachusetts real estate market that is in a state of turmoil, but also the national market is reeling under increasing economic slowdown and subprime after effects. It is highly unlikely that the market will be able to recover any time soon, but first time homebuyers and investors sitting on surplus cash can make the best of this opportunity. After all, Massachusetts foreclosure listings are a direct outcome of the foreclosures in the state and allow interested people to browse the Internet and seek assistance of online foreclosure brokers to find their perfect home and fulfill their American Dream!
