South Florida Foreclosure Filings Down 49%

May 2010 showed a 49% decrease in the amount of foreclosure filings in South Florida compared to May 2009.

In May 2009, 8,350 foreclosures were initiated in the tri-county area. But last month, only 4,250 tri-county homes filed for foreclosure.

Foreclosure filings are down 50% in Miami-Dade County, 55% in Broward County, and 36% in Palm Beach County.

This decline in foreclosure filings is attributed to South Florida lenders' efforts to modify mortgages and accept short sales.

Oil Spill May Have Effect on Florida Beach Tourism

Florida has had it rough the last few years, with the real estate crisis and a drop in tourism due to the recession. But it looks like Florida may take another hit with the BP oil spill. A supercomputer simulation (see video below) has projected that the gulf oil spill will make its way to the East coast of Florida and up into the jet stream. This will have a tremendous effect on Florida's Atlantic beaches and could spell trouble for summer tourism. Reports of beach vacation cancellations are already coming in as tourists try to avoid the spill.
