Mortgage Foreclosures Up 24% In First Three Months of 2009
The first three months of 2009 in Fort Myers and Cape Coral, Florida seemed pretty normal, if your idea of normal is a horrible economy, excessive foreclosure filings and outrageous jobless numbers. Let's talk about the 24% increase in foreclosures in Lee County. This number will continue to rise until our elected officials do something about it. The housing bill would be a great start if the politicians would stop playing politics with the bill. During this time of crisis, the politicians are still debating the best way to handle this crisis. The House of Representatives passed a bill on March 1, 2209, and our Senators are, well, thinking about it. It seems to me that the housing issue would be important enough for our Senators to push this issue just a little.
The foreclosure numbers are expected to rise even further. Hopefully, our politicians will begin to see that their inability to make a decision is harming their communities.
