Reply #13: In the last three years, three houses close to mine

[LizW]

have been foreclosed, and those are just the ones I know of. Another family I know a block over was forced to sell because the husband had been out of real work for over three years. (He worked 2-3 part-time jobs the whole time, and the wife worked full time, but it wasn't enough to make ends meet with two sons in college.) They were able to sell their house before it was foreclosed, but they still had to move and find somewhere cheaper to live.

There had not been a foreclosure near me for the first 11 years we lived here.

Things are getting really scary.
