Through the first four months of 2008, more than 17,000 D-FW area homes have been posted for foreclosure. Dallas Fort Worth Home foreclosures up 19% in 2008 according to Dallas Morning News Report. (Full Article)
The number of Dallas-Fort Worth area homes faced with foreclosure rose 19 percent for April compared with a year earlier due to subprime mortgage difficulties and the fact that homeowners in new home neighborhoods took on too much debt.
