Top 10 Worst Foreclosure Cities For 2008
California, Nevada, California, California, Arizona, Florida, Florida, Florida, California, and Michigan.
See a trend? These are the states that have the Top 10 worst foreclosure cities for 2008.
I am hoping that the trend lessens in 2009.
The bubble of optimism that permeated real estate has left a great deal of casualties. I have no firm data, but my heart says that in 2007 the speculators took a large percentage of the foreclosures and in 2008 it was the homeowners. The loss of value and the tightening economy combined with loans that were escalating just overwhelmed families.
Let us hope that low interest rates in 2009 and lenders that are more flexible work to bring this number down off the peak of 2008.

Good information.
Those spots are targeted by investors for a while now, buying a bulk of foreclosed properties seems like a trend this days.

It will be interesting to see what cities make the list in 2009. I got my fingers crossed that Las Vegas won’t be one of them but there is a slim chance Vegas won’t make the list.

I was expecting to see LA, OC or SD up there, but I guess not!

The high numbers of foreclosures in Michigan have really affected home values in the state. It’s definitely become a buyer’s market.

Seems Cali is getting hit hard. Never thought I could afford a place working at BK, but might just get one by Christmas. One dude got this big 4 br home overlooking the beach for just over $300k, and that was months ago, probably under $300 by now. Bet I could get a place in AZ or NV and put it on a credit card lol. I’m saving for a jacuzzi tub for my new beach house!!!! Slide slide slippity slide.
