If I won the hundred-gagillion dollar lottery, I would buy entire neighborhoods, knock all the houses to the ground and turn them back into citrus groves. My grandkids could resell that land back to developers in the boom of 2050 and make a fortune.

As a new homeowner, those are some scary numbers. Makes me feel so good that I didn't even go close to my supposed "max" mortgage eligiblity amount. Thank you YM!!!

I believe it. Since I bought (about 18 months ago), two units in my development have been foreclosed on and a third is on its way.

There is currently a shadow inventory of two years worth of homes being held by lenders.

Devil's Advocate here.........
This is actually good news for me. I'm looking to build a rather large portfolio of rentals over the course of my life, and as long as houses and money stays cheap for a few years, I'll be sitting rather pretty.

It doesn't surprise me. On the YM MSN board I had posted about the rise in bankruptcies which is at the biggest jump since the new law in 2005. It makes sense foreclosures are still rising.
