Signs Of The Time, Part 8
Prior to today’s Easter activities, I happened to read the Chicago Tribune real estate column by Mary Umberger. Ms. Umberger had this to say regarding Florida’s battered housing market:
Real-estate ravaged Florida has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country.
This month, the civil court system in St. Lucie County announced it would set up a night shift to handle the avalanche of foreclosure filings there.

Historically, the county averaged 40 to 45 filings a month, according to media reports there. However, filings jumped to 815 in February, so the court clerks in Ft. Pierce now will be on hand until 9 p.m. four nights a week.
