• FDIC Selling Off Detroit Inventory
  
  In fact the agency’s head just announced this week that it has adjusted its estimate of how many of the nation’s banks are seriously in trouble of going out of business this year upward from 90 in Q1 2008 to 117 now. So it’s no wonder that it has no time to play nursemaid to a bunch of foreclosed real estate in foreclosure-laden Detroit, Mich. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is having no trouble keeping busy these days.

• Las Vegas Foreclosure Activity Map
  
  Since weve posted a foreclosure activity map for both Stockton and Detroit , I thought we should probably also include a map of Las Vegas, given its one of the top three on our list of 2007 metro foreclosure rates .

  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. The notable exceptions included Detroit — a longtime posterchild for the foreclosure meltdown — and Philadelphia, along with a few other Pennsylvania metro areas. On the other hand, those exceptions could just turn out to be a source of false hope, perpetuated in part by short-term foreclosure solutions that are about as effective as a five-gallon bailing bucket on the sinking Titanic.

• Make Food, Not Foreclosures
  
  Just like it was in 2007, Wayne County has been a hotbed of foreclosure activity in Michigan so far in 2008. Similar to other parts of the nation’s Rust Belt, the county’s real estate market — particularly Detroit — is suffering. The pilot program would start with 20 plots, with the City of Detroit donating the water. A non-profit group has launched a program to turn former foreclosures into farmland. National Public Radio is reporting that the non-profit group Urban Farming requested that Wayne County, Mich.,

• Motor City Tops MSA Foreclosure List in Q3

• Foreclosures Begin 2007 at Two-Year High

• Foreclosures Fade in World Series Spotlight
  
  The Detroit Tigers are the feel-good story of this year’s World Series, having made it to baseball’s big dance only three years after posting 119 losses — one of the worst records in history.

The Tigers have given local fans a chance to momentarily forget about another dubious distinction: that they reside in a city with one of the highest foreclosure rates in the nation . The
