Foreclosure Activity in Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex








Foreclosure Posting Activity - April 2009


Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex


Following Last Month's Dip in Postings, D/FW Homes Posted for the April Foreclosure Auctions Surged again & Topped 5,000 for the Second Time on Record.




Residential Foreclosure Postings Climbed to New Record Highs in Denton & Collin Counties.


The filing deadline has passed for foreclosure postings to be filed at county courthouses throughout the State of Texas for the upcoming foreclosure auctions on Tuesday, April 7th, 2009. Therefore, Foreclosure Listing Service, Inc. has completed our research of the April foreclosure postings.


The following points offer a few highlights of these statistics. These quotes should be attributed to George Roddy, Sr., President of Foreclosure Listing Service, Inc.


DALLAS/FORT WORTH METRO


"Following last month's dip in foreclosure posting activity, postings filed on D/FW homes again surged for the April foreclosure auctions. For only the second time on record, home postings within the Metro topped 5,000."



 "In both Denton County & Collin County, a new monthly record high was reached with April's home postings. And, in Dallas and Tarrant Counties, home postings for the upcoming auction climbed to the second highest monthly level on record."


"For the upcoming foreclosure auctions in the D/FW Metro, 5,213 postings have been filed on homes. This was a 27% hike above the 4,108 filed for the same month last year; and, compared to last month's 4,276 notices, there was a 22% increase."


"The only other month that residential postings reached above 5,000 was in February of last year when the record level was achieved with 5,315 postings filed."


"For the last 18 consecutive months, D/FW's residential posting activity has exceeded 3,600 postings each month."


"So far this year, home postings were up 7% in the D/FW Metro with almost 18,500 postings filed for the first four auctions of this year."


"With the various plans announced, you would think that postings might ease; but, that is not the case. At least not yet. We will simply have to wait to see if the outlined plans actually end up helping the average American homeowner or not."

North Dallas Homes

Recent homes sold over a million have sold at 80% or less of list price! The two new homes on Wesgrove were sold at auction on 9/16! Though showings are slow, sales are stronger under $700,000 and values have gone up! We are dealing with a pickier buyer these days who want a perfect house, low rates, and a low price if renovating is needed! INTEREST RATES ARE VERY VERY LOW NOW. Strong credit rating is required. Be sure to deal with a reputable, experienced Realtor and lender! Appraisals are tough with either LOW comparables!. Hopefully this burst of activity will last through the fall/winter this year........ If you need information on activity in your area I can help! Your referrals are sincerely appreciated.

CASH for Clunkers

Cash rebates for clunker vehicles were such a smash hit, the government is at it again - this time offering you cash for your worn-out household appliances. The $300-million federal program - administered through the states - will provide consumers with a cash rebate of up to 15% of the cost of each new Energy Star-rated refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, clothes washer, water heater and room air conditioner. Expect rebates to run from $100 to $250, depending on the cost of the appliance. But wait - there's more. The program also covers central AC/heating systems, providing rebates of up to $1,500 for Energy Star-rated replacement systems plus a federal income tax credit of up to $1,500 on purchases made by the end of this year. Though a few states - Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota and Rhode Island - have jumped the gun and already have the incentives in play, most other states will launch the program later this month. States' shares of the federal program are based on population. Ca...

The insanity of moving

* Are you moving or planning a move ? Here are my ideas of moving and how to prepare yourself. Moving is never easy, and factoring in some useful moving tips might mean that you never have to say you are sorry. There can be a lot of trauma and heartbreak involved in leaving a familiar domestic environment and settling into a strange one. We tend to develop an attachment to familiar surroundings and people. However, when there is no other option but to move to a new home, there are two reasons for following some moving tips for the process: Planning the move and streamlining the process in advance will save time, money and effort. Following a plan will keep anxieties about moving and nagging feelings of regret at bay. If you have a sizeable household to move across the state, you will of course need the services of a moving company. You can contract such services or choose to do it yourself via the U-Haul option. Either option will entail involving other family members, as well as frien...
