orange county: Orange County Foreclosures - 01/31/10 05:21 PM
Florida is generally in the top 5 on any list that you look at for foreclosures and Orange County FL is no different. I was working on some information for a client the other day and was playing with a foreclosure mapping feature. While people are trying to say things are improving the market is getting better it's a little artificial.
