Tampa Foreclosures – In Perspective

Published by Lance Mohr | Filed under Foreclosures

James Thorner of the St. Petersburg Times wrote an interesting article in February.  He stated, “Fishkind predicts Florida foreclosures will peak this year, then recede as a force of evil in the housing market…By contrast, the much-more-populous Hillsborough County anticipates 40,000 new cases.”  This may a stark reality of some difficult times, and the word “hurricane” hasn’t even been mentioned!  It may or may not occur, as it is merely a prediction, but it is important to look on the bright side of situations.  There are new companies (Humana) moving into the St. Petersburg area, offering hope to many with 275 new jobs.  Houses are actually affordable for those who have been teetering on the fence, waiting for that low, low price.  Well, it is here.  If you are still on the fence, now is the time.  Make the move, because 39,999 Tampa foreclosures is one less than 40,000.
