Home foreclosure filings hit record 341,180 in March
The combination of the expiration of temporary foreclosure moratoriums, rising unemployment, and falling home prices all combined to drive foreclosure filings to a record high in March, according to RealtyTrac (see chart above). Filings surged 17.4% from 290,631 in February to 341,180 in March. On a year-over-year basis, filings are up a hefty 46.4%.

It concerns me very much. So much disinformation is spread that you don't know who to trust. This is all going to come crashing down I fear. No way these banks can continue to take these kinds of writedowns and be solvent, the numbes just don't add up.
