Our newspaper typically publishes the majority of new trustee sale filings on Fridays, and I hate seeing them.  Such sad testaments to some home owner in financial distress, facing the possibility of losing their home.  Each one may mean a family that is going to be displaced, a home owner whose credit is in tatters, and dreams that are being shattered.

So reading these notices of homes that face foreclosure in the near future makes me sad for each home owner represented in the list.  It makes me sad for the community, knowing these distressed situations have a ripple effect that touches many more than just the people in jeopardy of losing their home.

It makes me sad, too, to know that although the sheer numbers of foreclosure filings seems to be dropping, we haven't seen the end of them yet.  It will be such good news when the trustee sale notices are a rare, rare thing to see, and most buyers are able to either stay in their homes or refinance or sell if they need to.

Sigh....I know we are making progress - good progress in that direction.  But reading the Friday trustee sales lists makes me sad.
