In a separate blog, I mentioned that I was stunned to see who were losing their homes. In it, I mentioned a foreclosure map.
This may be new or old news to some, but if you haven't done so yet, go to hotpads.com and check out their foreclosure heat map that looks like this. And you can zoom in to areas that interest you. It's amazing at how detailed this information can get --- it won't give the exact address, but it will give the status (pre-foreclosure, bank-owned) and details about the house (number of bedrooms, square footage).
Zoom into your state, city, community, street ....and see who are in foreclosure stages of Notice of Default, trustee sale and foreclosure. This info was taken from public records.
Although the details may not be real-time, nonetheless, this map is somewhat sobering.
Great site, It is very sobering to see it graphically
