The number of foreclosures in Cape has again surpassed nearly every other places of the state. The reason behind this, as real estate experts have put it is that, this region has got a good number of second homes and also it depends greatly on the seasonal tourist industry. Economist Paul Willen has said that when a property is not the primary residence of the owner, then the result of being a defaulter is not that severe for the defaulter. In his own words, “Because you don’t live there, the consequences of defaulting are much less severe. If it’s a summer home, then you just don’t go away this summer, but you don’t end up on the street.”

According to Kevin Cuff, executive director, Massachusetts Mortgage Bankers Association, the real estate speculation is likely to increase the number of Cape foreclosures. He opines that that the speculators just like the second homeowners have lesser chance to combat when an instance of financial problem takes place. In all likelihood, in such a situation, the owner will part with the property. The number of foreclosures in Cape has almost doubled in the first three quarters of 2008 in comparison to the figure a year back. A sharp increase in the number of foreclosures is visible in the Dukes County. Here, the number of foreclosures has increased by 260 percent. Most exorbitant growth in the rate of foreclosure has been arrested in the Barnstable County.

The total number of foreclosure deeds that has been filed statewide at the close of September has increased by 71.8 percent when compared to the figure of last year during the same period. The off-season unemployment is going to further increase the number of foreclosures in Cape. The rate of unemployment in Cape in 2007 was 4.8 percent. This figure was somewhat close to the unemployment rate of the state that stood at 4.5 percent. The rate of unemployment during winter went up by 7.4 percent. According to Kevin Park, a researcher at Harvard University, the pace at which the value of homes have gone down in a particular place can also badly affect the number of foreclosures in that region.

As the prices of property have gone down, the homeowners are finding it very difficult to find out buyers for their home. Besides, they also cannot refinance into affordable loans. The price of home have decreased maximum in the Barnstable County. In Cape, the median sales price of a single-family home has gone down by 12.3 percent when compared to the figure a year ago.

The number of foreclosure in US has gone up by 70 percent in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the figure last year during the same period. It has been found that about 766,000 households throughout US have got one foreclosure notice between the months of July and September. It is envisioned by the real estate experts that by the close of this year, about one million properties will be facing a foreclosure notice on them. It is expected to represent nearly one-third of the properties for sales activity in US. The greatest problem that foreclosure leads to is that it brings down the prices of the neighboring properties and also affects the economy of the surrounding areas badly.

It has been found that the states of Nevada, Florida, Michigan, Arizona, California, and Ohio made for over 60 percent of the foreclosure activity that took place in the third quarter. Among these states, the state of California alone accounted for over one-quarter of the filings. Detroit and Atlanta is counted among the 20 badly affected metropolitan areas outside Nevada, California, Arizona, and Florida. The decreasing value of home together with strict mortgage lending standards has put a large number of homeowners into serious problem. There are several who are unable to find buyers for their property and also refinance their loan. This is because the global credit crisis has led to lesser availability of loans.

In the previous month, the instances of resale activity in the real estate made up for over one-half of the prevailing home sales in the state of California. This was because of the reason that the sales activity went up by 65 percent as compared to what it was a year back, while the median home price throughout the state went down from 34 per cent to $283,000. The number of foreclosure filings was down by 12 per cent in September as compared to August. This was mainly due to the new state law. While the lenders have to give a 30 days prior notice to the borrower before a default notice is filed in California, it is 45 days in North Carolina.

However, this cannot really help the distressed homeowners as about 12 million Americans out of the 52 million are facing this problem. It is time to just wait and see that how steps from the side of the government can help in solving the problem.

The Capital Region has been reported with a rise in foreclosure by 138 percent. However, this is still one of the lowest figures as compared to the rate of foreclosure nationwide. According to a data, the metropolitan area of Albany-Schenectady-Troy had about 553 properties in foreclosure during the third quarter. It was 232 an year back during the months of July and September. When compared with the foreclosure rate of the 100 metropolitan areas of the country, the Capital Region shows the 96th-lowest rate of foreclosure. The cities that have been heavily hit by this real estate crisis are Texas, Nevada, and California.

The reason behind this low rate of foreclosure is the stability in the real estate market as well as the economy of this region. Besides, this area also did not experience the dramatic rise in the value of homes as seen in other places of the country. The real estate counselors of the region have said that this rise in the number of foreclosures have been building up for over a year. The concern is that this increasing rate is not coming down. The low rate of foreclosure does not essentially mean that the people there are not concerned.

Ellie Pepper, a real estate expert, has said that she does not have any specific reason with her as to why this increase in the number of foreclosures is taking place. However, she has made the state law partly responsible for this, which says that the homeowner will be given a 90 days period before the actual proceeding starts of. The economists are of the opinion that the increasing rate of foreclosures and the depleting value of homes are mainly due to the easy accessibility of the subprime mortgages which the homebuyers took at a time to make a fast purchase of home.

These subprime mortgages were taken by those with a low income and poor credit. They are now finding it tough to make repayments. A steep inclination has been found in the number of foreclosure nationally. It has soared up by 21 percent in the month of September as compared to the figure last year during the same period. According to the attorneys of the Capital Region, the problem is prevalent among people with all types of credit and income.

Pepper has said that there are several homeowners who do not pay heed to the property taxes when they make their purchase of property. Lawyer Guy Criscione has said that a family with $120,000 annual income facing a foreclosure on their property is not an uncommon thing.
