Guest yobob1 Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Coming soon to a neighborhood near you The number of foreclosures had been projected to rise about 40 percent from last year, but foreclosure activity in March spiked by 122 percent from March 2003. There were 1,384 foreclosures filed last month, compared with 624 in March 2003. Adams County, for example, set a one-month record in March by opening 347 foreclosures. That's only slightly fewer than the 355 it had in the first three months of 2003. "It's the most we've ever done," in one month, said Bonny Kovtynovich, deputy public trustee for Adams County. "They just keep coming in droves." March also was a bad month for personal and business bankruptcies, said economist Patty Silverstein, principal of Development Research Partners. "Those two data sets are seeming to go hand in hand," Silverstein said. This is the lagging data starting to show. People are now exhausting their resources after the extended unemployment runs out, their credit cards are maxxed, and they have sold everything they can. Had this been 1930 it would have showed a lot earlier, but today's "safety nets" have delayed it a bit. Delayed but unstoppable. It's only a matter of a small amount of time before the default ratios on a national basis began to soar also. They simply aren't expanding the debt bubble fast enough. Note the January/February drop from 15 billion in new debt to 4 billion. The giant blow-off top of mortgage debt experienced last Summer created a new level that must be exceded in order for the bubble to continue to propogate. It is obvious that even with the absurdly lax credit terms available that they cannot create enough new debt. The "air" has been slowly, quietly escaping since then and soon the rubber will weaken enough to cause a blast of air to escape. As a sidebar, in the last 60 days we are seeing an increasing number of credit cards maxxed out when we pass them through the reader. "DECLINED" This is quickly followed by "here, try this one." So far we haven't run into a customer that has maxxed all of their multitudes of cards, but the ratio in the wallet is quickly swinging towards that day.

There should be a credit card that automatically, incrementally refis your house at the going rate, each time you post a charge to it. It would be like having an ever-expanding credit line, since real estate always goes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
