Foreclosures are way up and it appears we’ve only seen the beginning. It doesn’t take a real estate guru to see that. But with all the heart ache there can be incredible potential. There’s a Google Maps/MLS mashup by PropertyMaps that lists and shows pictures of foreclosure properties across the US. It’s been very helpful.

I agree, short sales and foreclosures are going to keep quite common the MLS for some time.

Well, it’s interesting to see that the states most affected are ones that have stressed economies already. The fact that many are doing everything to get jobs is directly related to their ability to pay a mortgage. Dale
