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.

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. Detroit’s Wayne County reported 4,190 properties entering foreclosure in September, the second most only behind Chicago’s Cook County (whose fans didn’t have any team to cheer in the playoffs this year). 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

  • A Small Silver Lining in Q1 Foreclosure Storm
    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.

National Public Radio is reporting that the non-profit group Urban Farming requested that Wayne County, Mich.,

  • Home Prices Fall Deeper Into the Abyss
    Homeowners across the country may be feeling a bit like Mel Brooks’ character from his movie “High Anxiety” now that Standard and Poor’s has released its May numbers for the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices .
