High-End Foreclosures Rising Among Top Tier Homes
Seven-figure foreclosures — once a rarity in 2007 — are starting to pop up with more frequency in some of the wealthiest communities nationwide.

Legislating Lower Foreclosure Rates?
One such law is Illinois Senate Bill 2349 , which passed back in June and is scheduled to become effective January 1, 2007. An Illinois law intended to help reduce foreclosures is drawing cries of discrimination from some of the people it is trying to protect, according to the Chicago Defender newspaper. “Nearly 60 days after Illinois House Bill 4050 went into effect to supposedly protect consumers from predatory lenders, a coalition of Black and Latino city residents say the new law is actually destroying property values in select minority communities.” The law is a pilot program that is being applied in 10 Chicago zip codes chosen for their high foreclosure rates, among other factors.

Gentle January Foreclosure Increase
Although they were up 57 percent from January 2007 and 8 percent from December, the January foreclosure numbers released today by RealtyTrac do not appear to represent the massive wave of foreclosures that is expected to hit sometime soon thanks to the rash of risky loans given to borrowers as late as just last year . Its too early too tell if the relatively meek January numbers mean more distressed homeowners are staving off foreclosure thanks to increasingly pro-active lenders and government intervention , or if they just represent the first few raindrops of what

Foreclosures Begin 2007 at Two-Year High
New foreclosure activity in January hit its highest level since RealtyTrac began issuing a national foreclosure report two years ago, with 130,511 new foreclosure filings reported during the month.

Feb. Foreclosure Report: Are We at Bottom Yet?
February foreclosure activity was down 4 percent from the previous month but still up 57 percent from February 2007, according to the latest RealtyTrac U.S. The February monthly decrease is more likely a seasonal decrease helped along by a shorter-than-average month and the fact that Januarys numbers are often padded with some pent-up foreclosure activity from the holiday season. That premise is supported by looking Foreclosure Market Report . So does the monthly decrease mean weve hit a ceiling of sorts for this cycle in terms of foreclosures?
