Foreclosures MD/Montgomery County

Just wanted to give some quick facts on foreclosures in Maryland for the last quarter 2010. 2010-Montgomery County had the third-highest foreclosure activity behind Prince George's County and Baltimore city, and the fourth-highest number of mortgage loan default notices behind Prince George's County, Baltimore city and Baltimore County. We were far behind but are still hurting from the excess of the boom. Montgomery had 157 foreclosure filings in January compared to 486 foreclosure filings in January 2010. This is GREAT NEWS that they have dropped so much. Montgomery County had 103 foreclosure filings in February compared to 676 foreclosure filings in February 2010. I wish there were none, it's a terrible thing but this is going in the right direction. There were 134 foreclosure notices, 289 notices of sales and 243 lender purchases in the fourth quarter of 2010 in Montgomery County. Not all of these homes will go to foreclosure thankfully. If you face this as a possibility there is help available. Contact your lender first and there are HUD approved counseling also. Not to mention several government programs designed to keep you in the house or to get you out with some money to start over. Lastly here are some of the hot spots where foreclosures and defaults are highest in Montgomery County, MD.
