Top 10 States With Lowest Foreclosure Rate In 2007

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

 With the media focusing on the high rate of foreclosures in the country the people of these state must be wondering what every one is talking about. With rates of less than 1 hundreth of a percent, South Dakota and Vermont must be confused.

Meanwhile 10 states have a foreclosure rate of 1 home in ever 500 in foreclosure, not even a blip on the radar screen. So maybe the issue is not in the ability of average homeowners to repay their mortgage but that speculators took a big bite out of an overbuilt market and now they are paying the price.

But that does not play well in the major media so it can not be the case.
