There Ain't No Foreclosures in the Suburbs — Um, Wrong!
Hundreds of foreclosures exist in the north and northwest suburbs.
According to Daily Real Estate News www.dailyrealestatenews.com, Thursday, September 15, 2011, 1 in every 424 Illinois households — a total of 12,493 — are in the foreclosure assembly line as of August, 2011.
We suburbanites assume foreclosures, like homelessness, are solely a city reality. Realty Trac www.realtytrac.com begs to differ:
