potomac falls: So how are those Foreclosure rates..?
- 06/25/09 01:16 AM
The good news? Virginia is not one of the states with the top foreclosure rates in the country, nor is Maryland or the District of Columbia. Who is? In May 2009, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported that the states with the highest foreclosure rates were California, Florida, Arizona, and Nevada. While these four states only represent about 18% of the nation's population, they carry about 46% of the nation's total number of homes in foreclosure. Why these four states? Because they suffered the largest drop in price drops when the market fell, forcing home owners that bought in the … (0 comments)

- 05/12/09 06:29 AM
The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Department would like to share these helpful safety tips to help protect yourself while enjoying outdoor activities. Always be aware of your surroundings no matter where you are. Never feel that you are unsusceptible to an attack. Stay in groups. A group of people are less vulnerable then one individual just by themselves. Be sure to tell someone where you are going and what time you will be back. If plans change, make sure you let that person know. Always carry your cell phone and some type of picture ID with you. Limit outdoor activities to daylight … (0 comments)
