Lake Norman Real Estate: Foreclosures and Unemployment Numbers
 

 
In today's real estate market, both here in the Lake Norman area as well as the entire country, economic data changes daily.  This is especially true of the number of home foreclosures.  And it is particularly difficult to stay on top of our local numbers as they are not as readily available.
That is why I got pretty excited when I learned about this interactive map on the National Public Radio's website: Interactive Map:  The Economy Where You Live.  If you click on the link a map of the United States will appear with the option to search three different numbers BY COUNTY: 
Foreclosure Rates Unemployment Rates Median Household Income These numbers are updated regularly so you can keep track of trends by county not only where you might be buying but where you are currently living as well.
Today's numbers for our four Lake Norman counties:
Iredell (including Mooresville, Troutman,Statesville):
Foreclosures:  1 in 1662 (one out of every 1662 homes are currently in foreclosure) Unemployment rate: 13% Mecklenburg (including Charlotte, Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson):
Foreclosures:  1 in 213 Unemployment rate: 11.7% Catawba (including Sherrills Ford, Terrell, Hickory):
Foreclosures:  1 in 2479 Unemployment rate: 14.9% Lincoln (Including Denver, Lincolnton):
Foreclosures:  1 in 1401 ... more
