#1 Wonder how many foreclosures were of people who abandoned the property after being unable to find a ~~sucker~~ buyer and deciding to leave the state now was better than staying around.

Note: Liberal Democrat History repeats itself.
2007-2010 Housing market prices peak as foreclosures increase.

Will housing prices plunge in 2023-2024 as cheap Foreclosures increase?

#4 The banks learned their lesson about being stuck with properties last time. I'd imagine they will sell the foreclosures off at prices that will depress the market.

#5 The banks aren't stuck trying to recoup what they lost in the MBSs in 2008. They have more flexibility this time.

#8 In Florida the homeowner won. Bank was slow in paying lawyer fees, so a lean was put on a branch. Sheriff showed up taped off the place. Was in the process of removing furniture when the check showed up.

#9 1) It was in Florida.

2) It was low hanging fruit to a smart lawyer.

Lots of people have no idea what to do when foreclosure paperwork arrives in their mail. If they actually are not paying their mortgage, they will have little luck hiring a lawyer. Yes, there are pro-bono ways to go, but the people described above don't even know where to start looking for a contact to that.

#10 It was fun, fun, fun till the Sheriff took the furniture away.

#11 Foreclosures will often be quietly sold off to connected investment companies like Blackrock and converted into rentals.

#14 Owing the mortgage company is one thing, owning the county taxes is another.
