Foreclosure Problems In Frederick
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008
As new filings come to take place in Frederick County, it has been observed that they have fallen throughout this January rapidly. However, during the same time, there has been a continual rise of foreclosures in the rest of the country. After months, the country’s ranking has dropped to 12th, while the rest of the state’s 134 localities seem to be experiencing a rise in the foreclosure market all the same.
There were 54 new filings in January itself for Frederick County at the rate of one filing per 504 homes. This information had been supplied by RealtyTrac.com. The Frederick County always had a record of low rate of foreclosures until September. Though it has recently spiked higher at certain times in the past, it had only reached up to a rate of one filing every 151 households. Since October until December, the County has experienced a sudden decelerating in foreclosure rankings that came to either sixth or seventh in the whole of Northern Virginia, along with the areas surrounding Fredericksburg.
Again, new foreclosure filings in areas like Winchester and Clarke County remained on the lower end as compared to the other areas of the state. Winchester has nine filings altogether during January at the rate of one occurring for every 1,258 households. Clarke County had had nine filings too with the ongoing rate of 664 every household. Fredrick’s higher rate included the attributed number of new homes included in it. All of these were built and sold in the locality at a very striking rate in the last few years.
Most of these houses on auction have only had a few years’ of being owned. According to Andrew Witt of the Draper and Goldberg law firm in Leesburg, this is a vital aspect to consider in the real estate and foreclosure business. Witt handles the loss mitigation at the Draper and Goldberg.
As per Clarke County’s strict land use the ordinances to keep housing development at a low level is the minimum requirement. Among the other neighbouring localities, Warren County has been the only region that seemed to have surpassed Frederick’s foreclosure rate this January at the rate of one filling per 448 household.
Other areas in Virginia with foreclosure filings that come in the top slot are Prince William County (with a filling rate of one every 84 houses), Manassas County (with a filling rate of one every 21 households) and Spotsylvania County (one filling out of every 212 homes).
