In the midst of all the bad news lately, I read this bit of good—the First American Core Logic report shows that Louisville, Kentucky came in at #6 of the lowest risk markets for foreclosures. Here they are:
Top 10 Lowest Risk Among Largest 100 Markets
1. Dayton, OH
2. Indianapolis-Carmel, IN
3. Austin-Round Rock, TX
4. Omaha-Council Bluffs, NE-IA
5. Wichita, KS
6. Louisville/Jefferson County, KY-IN
7. Charlotte-Gastonia-Concord, NC-SC
8. Raleigh-Cary, NC
9. Gary, IN
10. McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX
Of course, there’s always the other side to that coin. California has the embarrassing distinction of containing 8 of the Top 10 highest risk metro markets. And wouldn’t you know it, my old home town, San Bernardino, came in at #1. I’m so proud.
