According to RealtyTrac, the foreclosure picture remains bleak, with February foreclosure filings in the U.S. up 30 percent year-over-year. Among the top 10 hardest hit metro areas, in order: Las Vegas, Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Stockton, Modesto, Merced, Riverside-San Bernardino, Bakersfield, Reno-Sparks, Phoenix and Vallejo-Fairfield. The news comes amid President Obama’s $75 billion dollar efforts to keep struggling homeowners from losing their homes.
FrontDoor Insider Rick Sharga of RealtyTrac predicts even more challenging times this year. Several analysts and economists have said that Obama’s refinancing and loan modification programs aren’t enough to buoy an economy plagued with an 8.1 percent unemployment rate and lagging consumer confidence.
And with foreclosures sure to make headlines again, FrontDoor is working on a new foreclosure resource center, with more helpful guides and tools. Stay tuned!
