Metropolitan Economics Spark Mortgage Foreclosures

Categories: Mortgage. Home Loan, Foreclosure, Predatory Lender










Depending on where American citizens reside, there seems to be an economical correlation
in housing foreclosure rates. A high volume of foreclosures are more prevalent in
cities with
lagging appreciation averages and higher unemployment rates. Exorbitant home prices have
compelled more consumers to buy homes beyond their financial means.






Certain mortgages such as negative amortization loans, adjustable interest rates and interest only loans are
deemed creative yet risky financing alternatives – that make homebuyers more susceptible
to foreclosures.  
A recent report released by Realty Trac evaluated foreclosure trends across the nation in metropolitan 
areas.
Indianapolis topped the nation's chart in home foreclosures with a ratio of 1.45 out of every 69
homes.
Atlanta ranked second (one in 70) with Dallas in third place or one out of 99 residents.
