I hope Obama’s government and strategy will change something though. Too much of people took the credits and the most “clever” took homes up to $750.000 in cost while they are hardly doing $50.000 a year. So what can I say? Let’s hope for the best.. Who knows though?..

DotHomes uses full-text search, so it’s actually really good at finding foreclosures too. Try this for example:

I am not sure how well foreclosure prevention programs will work. The homes that are going into foreclosure are homes that were purchased during the most recent real estate boom. The problem is that so many people now owe more than their homes are worth. Then they lose their job or their adjustable mortgage adjusts.

I do think that the prevention programs would help to curb the problem in the future, but it does nothing for the problem now. I think that we need a solution to the problem which will immediately impact the economy…not some speculative government programs which will help four or five years down the road…we do not have that much time!

Great post, Joel and good resources. This isn’t meant to sound self-serving, as I am slightly biased, but is meant more as a public service announcement.

Sources for foreclosure data, the entire foreclosure process and the laws vary drastically from state to state, and while the big “national” sites certainly do have good geographic coverage, the accuracy, timeliness and completeness of the data can suffer and much of the education (if any) may not apply in each consumer’s state.

We’ve built our business (www.ForeclosuresMass.com) on being a locally based company that gathers the data first hand and makes it available to our members along with locally based education, resources and tools to help our members succeed.

Again, it’s not that the larger national sites don’t have good data, it’s just been our experience and that of other investors nationwide that you always get better data and information from a locally based in-state company.
