Troubled Kalamazoo County Homeowners Are Looking For Allies

 

Kalamazoo County, Michigan is a smallish county situated in the south-central part of the state and is home to over a quarter-million people. With some 94,000 households earning slightly more than $42,000 annually it is easy to understand why the foreclosure filings here are especially hard to take and have had such a dramatic impact.

C-Two Enterprises LLC, stop foreclosure specialists in Kalamazoo County provided a local real estate professional's perspective on the current foreclosure situation.

The numbers are startling considering the relatively small population. Property-tax foreclosures in Kalamazoo County more than doubled in the last year. The county had to foreclose on 106 parcels this past March 31st for nonpayment of 2005 taxes. That's up from 52 properties last year at this time when the office foreclosed for 2004 taxes.

Repossessions by lenders also are up so far this year in Kalamazoo County. In the first three months of this year alone, some 256 homes were taken back following foreclosure. That's up 18 percent over the same period last year. The number of homes taken back by lenders in 2007 jumped to 969, more than double the total in 2004

For a small county like Kalamazoo every foreclosure hits close to home. Local officials are predicting even more homeowners could be ousted this year, thanks to a state economy that is not expected to get much better and a new round of adjustable-rate hikes are expected that will push monthly payments higher for some mortgage holders.

The typical residence in foreclosure here is the working middle class. They make up the majority of the county's population and are the segment of society most that was targeted by the subprime lenders.

Following the trend that is predominate everywhere else in the country homeowners here are overleveraged as well. A major issue here it is that is hard to know when a foreclosure has been filed until they are in the records and little time for stop foreclosure specialists and mitigation experts to step in and try to avoid foreclosure.

Homeowners in Kalamazoo County are following the same trends as the rest of the country in choosing a way to stop foreclosure. Normally they will try to sell at market value. When that fails they try to sell just to break even, and when all else fails allowing the foreclosure process to take their homes away.

No county has been immune to the ongoing foreclosure meltdown and Kalamazoo is no different. What help there is may be too little too late. Locals look forward to the foreclosure trend to begin a reversal, but in the meantime that possibility is not showing on the horizon.
