Wave Of Distressed Properties Approaches Tallahassee

There is a growth of distressed properties that is appearing like a post tsunami tidal wave, and it is heading straight for the Tallahassee real estate market. The warning bells are sounding as we continue to monitor lis pendens filings and foreclosures in Tallahassee.

If you have been following our tracking of foreclosures in Tallahassee, then you won't be surprised that we have seen another large month of filings during the month of September. The Tallahassee Foreclosure Page on our web site is getting more and more traffic every day, so I suspect that this "wave" will not catch too many people off guard.

Lis Pendens Filings Continue To Rise

Tallahassee endured another 180 lis pendens filings during the month of September, a year over year increase of 59%. But that pales in comparison to the year over year increase of foreclosures. 49 foreclosures occurred during the month of September, and when compared to the 6 that we saw in September of last year, that represents a year over year rise of 717%!

Most Distressed Neighborhoods In Tallahassee

Lis pendens have been filed for properties in a total of 703 Tallahassee Subdivisions over the past 12 months. This seems to be a pretty fair distribution of distressed properties, yet some have been hit harder than the rest.

While many of the neighborhoods that are shown in this graph, like Southwood, Killearn Lakes, Killearn Acres, and Killearn Estates have a larger proportion of the distressed properties due to their size, there are several others that are surprisingly high with relatively few homes in their neighborhoods.

Report Of Distressed Properties By Tallahassee Subdivision

The following table shows the top 130 Tallahassee Subdivisions, sorted by the number of lis pendens filings that have occurred in the past 12 months. We must keep are eye on these as the foreclosures will continue to hit the Tallahassee real estate market in the next few years.

Joe Wrote The Book On How To Sell A Home Today

“Location, location, location’ is no longer a competitive advantage. Digital marketing and going direct to consumer have made all geographical boundaries obsolete. The Business of Getting Business is a must-read modern-day survival guide for any local business to get to the next decade. Local businesses are on death ground.

They can either take a stand and re-invent themselves by embracing the digital frontier and have a chance to survive the overwhelming odds of digital direct-to-consumer capabilities that have erased all local and national business distinctions, or they can choose business as usual and accept certain death.

The Business of Getting Business is the critical survival guide for those that choose to dig in and fight.”
   – Anthony Noto, CEO, SoFi and former COO, Twitter
