Top 10 Highest Risk Mortgage Markets
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Out of the 100 largest markets in the country, those with the highest risk of mortgage defaults are in 3 states, California, Florida, and Arizona. But the segmentation of the market does not end there.
California holds 8 out of the top 10 spots on this ignoble list of mortgage mayhem. So when the pundits scream about the housing market falling into the abyss, do not fear it so badly. Like insurance rates going up after hurricanes, the housing slowdown is now continuing on as the lenders untangle themselves from the mess they created in California.
The rest of the country is paying for the excesses of a few. Does that surprise you?
