Looking at the bright side, it does again show how our economy is booming.
However, the perps of fraud, when taking advantage of it, should get a barred window for life!
Or the reverse --- it makes it look like the economy is booming --- what is the rate of foreclosures up to now?
It's very interesting because even those this region has the highest unemployment rate, and wages overall are dropping, home-buying is up --- one reason is that now the very low income class can buy homes with 0 down and use $400 or more in government housing subsidies to buy their house.
