hmm .5% a month
6% a year
lets call it 5% rounding down
One out of every 20 houses in Oakland County will be foreclosed this year.
Is that what you are saying?
WOW

Yes Oakland County is foreclosing 2400 homes per month or .47% of the houses in the county.

Where do you get that statistic from? I don't see anything in that link that says there are just 500,000 houses in Oakland County. You're also assuming the 2400/month continues each month. I'm as bearish as the come and I live here but I doubt that 5% of the homes in Oakland County will be foreclosed on this year. (Maybe if you include builders who give their spec houses back to their lenders???) Oakland County is a very wealthy place. If you include the other counties around here it might be more believable.
