"In the first quarter of the year, we saw a slowdown in foreclosure activity in the Northeast," said ForeclosureS.com president Alexis McGee. "But as we near the end of the second quarter both foreclosures and pending foreclosures are up." Ms. McGee went on to say that, in Massachusetts almost 5,000 properties were in some stage of foreclosure and over 2800 had actually gone to public sale.

She added, "Foreclosure activity in the northern New England New England, name applied to the region comprising six states of the NE United States—Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. The region is thought to have been so named by Capt.  states is still negligible, but in Massachusetts, particularly around the Boston metro Boston Metro may refer to:

 area, we had a very overheated market for some time. That's no longer the case. Prices have been absolutely flat there for at least three months."

Ms. McGee pointed out that her research had always seen a correlation between increases in defaults and flattening price appreciation.

"Too many homeowners," said Ms. McGee, "have been using their homes as ATM machines during the price run-up of recent years. Now, home prices have gone flat, the refinance option is closed out, and interest rates are rising back to normal levels. People with risky exotic mortgages and high consumer debt will have nowhere to turn."

Ms. McGee also reported second quarter default increases in Queens and Kings counties in the New York City New York City: see New York, city.

"On the seas of finance," Ms. McGee said, "whenever money and property are involved, you'll find sharks in the water. The ForeclosureS.com goal is to protect people in trouble from those sharks. We want the owners in default to conserve some equity for a new start. That's far better than seeing them fall victim to a 'foreclosure rescue' scammer, or lose everything in an auction on the courthouse steps."
