I looked Asbury Park, NJ up in a database provided only to foreclosure prevention counselors. The number of current foreclosure lis pendens is 80. That does not mean that every single one will end up in a foreclosure. It means that a notice of intent to foreclose has been served by the servicer of their mortgage. That means that 80 households in the city of Asbury Park are currently 90+ days behind on their mortgage payments.
I'm not going to be baited into debating with you the minutia. We are in a foreclosure crisis in the US. Those of us who live in the greater NY metropolitan area are actually quite lucky. A search of Ann Arbor Michigan shows 427 foreclosure lis pendens. Conley, GA a similarly sized city to AP has 145. However consider too that Nevada has been the hardest hit state in the nation. Boulder City, NV (pop 12,567) has 78. A number very close to Asbury Park's. This is very serious stuff and no one is available full-time to help the AP residents facing foreclosure. It kills me to have to work in NYC when I keep seeing the AP stats go up. Tommy, I doubt you're pro-foreclosure. God! I hope no one is pro- foreclosure. I am only reporting what I see. If it were 70 rather than 80 I guess it would be better for those 10 families (except they're facing some other kind of legal action). ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
