  While foreclosure activity in the first quarter of 2008 was up on a year-over-year basis in 90 percent of the nations 100 largest metropolitan areas, according to the RealtyTrac Q1 report issued today, there were a few notable exceptions that could prove to be a harbinger of hope for the nations battered housing market.

• Short sales rising
  
  That indicates lenders are getting more eager to unload properties in foreclosure, even if it means selling them for less than is owed on the mortgage. If a short sale doesn’t work, it eventually becomes a bank-owned foreclosure. Short sales are a sign that rising foreclosures are beginning to put a strain on the market.
