Rising foreclosures have Nashville realtors looking for new ways to sell their foreclosed properties.

 

In Davidson County alone, foreclosure rates are up 70 percent from this time last year. This week, Crye-Leike filled two charter buses with potential investors for a tour of bank-owned properties. The real estate agency has seen its foreclosure inventory more than double since this time last year.

 

Jon Schmarko took Crye-Leike's tour. While the housing market here isn't improving, he recently moved from Michigan to Nashville and says the investment prospects are better.

A record five-and-a-half-million Americans are facing foreclosure, according to new numbers released by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America Thursday.

 

While California and Florida are on the high end of the spectrum, with more than 30,000 foreclosures a piece, Tennessee is considered to be in the lowest danger category, with just fewer than 5,000.

 

According to the MBA, the percentage of overdue loans hit 12% in February, up from 10% in September and 8% in February of last year.

 

Thursday, local real estate agency Crye-Leike hosted a bus tour of foreclosed homes in the area.

Memphis, TN., It's almost a rite of passage for thousands of Shelby County homeowners like Larry Finney. It's a time when they begin checking their mailboxes for property reappraisal notices.

 

"Anytime you invest money into something you'd like to see it appreciate. That hasn't been the case for the property around here," Finney said.

 

Anyone wondering how much their home values have gone up or gone down will have those questions answered when 2009 Reappraisal Notices are mailed out. Cheyenne Johnson is the Shelby County Property Assessor.

 

"They could possibly be considered a shock, but I think it's a realization of what occurred over the last four years," Johnson said.

 

Johnson says a slow housing market and a record number of homes in foreclosure will...
