  The Wall Street Journal is reporting that more and more homeowners forced out of their homes by foreclosure are turning to vandalism to lash out in some tangible way in a situation where they feel powerless. Las Vegas is used as a backdrop for the story, not surprising given that the foreclosure rate in Las Vegas consistently ranks among the top 10 metro foreclosure rates, according to RealtyTrac. The article claims that "real estate agents estimate that about half of foreclosed properties to be sold by mortgage companies nationwide have substantial damage, according to a new survey by Campbell Communications, a marketing and research firm based in Washington, D.C."

• High-End Foreclosures Rising Among Top Tier Homes
  
  High-End Foreclosures Rising Among Top Tier Homes By Octavio Nuiry, RealtyTrac Staff Writer    Until now, the foreclosure crisis was confined to a narrow niche of middle-class urban communities and outer-rim new housing developments where first-time homeowners and real estate speculators benefited briefly from favorable financing. But increasingly there are signs that the foreclosure problem is spilling over into wealthier areas, where prime borrowers — and even high-end real estate developers — are rapidly falling behind on their

  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. 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.

• Local Market Perspective: Seattle, Wash.
  
  Over the past three months, my clients and I have presented nine contracts to pre-foreclosure, REO and short sale sellers. The Seattle market is not what you see on the news, hear on the radio, or read in the paper in terms of the rest of the nation’s foreclosure woes.

In the Northern Seattle area there currently very few REO properties, and in terms of real short sales, I have
