Amazing Foreclosure Stats

Amazing stats from a June 1st NYTimes article: Owners Stop Paying Mortgages, and Stop Fretting

- Foreclosure procedures have been initiated against 1.7 million of the nation’s households. The pace of resolving these problem loans is slow and getting slower because of legal challenges, foreclosure moratoriums, government pressure to offer modifications and the inability of the lenders to cope with so many souring mortgages.

- The average borrower in foreclosure has been delinquent for 438 days before actually being evicted, up from 251 days in January 2008, according to LPS Applied Analytics.

- More than 650,000 households had not paid in 18 months, LPS calculated earlier this year. With 19 percent of those homes, the lender had not even begun to take action to repossess the property — double the rate of a year earlier.

- In Florida, the average property spends 518 days in foreclosure, second only to New York’s 561 days. Defense attorneys stress they can keep this number high.

Dear Anonymous, although I'm sure your goods are beautiful, this really isn't the place for your spam, err, I mean, marketing. You would have better luck on other websites where people are more likely to look for the perfect gift idea.
