Modesto Foreclosure
75% of the metro areas facing huge foreclosures
Problems for the homeowners continue to rise. A latest report shows that America’s 75% metro areas are struggling with a hike in the foreclosures and distressed selling. The leading states in the crusade of foreclosure are Arizona, California, Florida and Nevada. The worst is visible in Las Vegas. One interesting thing about these foreclosures is that lethal mortgages are no longer the cause of these foreclosures. As a matter of fact, mortgages are now replaced by acute unemployment. This is clearly visible in Las Vegas where it is no longer the bad loans which are causing foreclosures. It is unemployment that is causing defaults leading to foreclosures. The thing to worry about is that in June, 14.5% of the entire work force was unemployed. This was higher by 2.1% same period last year.
Some facts and figures:
- One out of every 15 homeowners in Las Vegas faced foreclosure, which crowns the State with the first position in foreclosure race.
- Cape Coral/Fort Myers, Florida was the second highest with one out of every 20 facing foreclosure.
- Merced and Modesto in California took third place with one out of every 22 facing a foreclosure.
This is a serious problem for America, but there is good news. Some of the states, which were the worst hit, are now registering a decline in the foreclosure rate, because of the end of the subprime crisis. The bad news is that while these states are gaining some recovery, the other states are taking harder hits, because of the weak economic situation.
The worst cases of foreclosures due to unemployment can be seen in Salt Lake City. Others, which are hit by unemployment crisis, leading to foreclosure and just behind Salt Lake City, are Chicago, Charleston S.C. and Albuquerque.
As the foreclosure problem spikes up, the major concern that comes in is the problem for the housing industry. Builder’s sentiments show that the housing market is in real trouble, because the foreclosed properties are now selling at lower and cheaper rates and this is good news for the prospective homebuyers who are looking for preoccupied homes.
