Georgia Ranks 7th In April Foreclosures

With Fulton County leading the way in the Atlanta Metro area, Georgia ranked 7th nationwide in the number of home foreclosures in April.

Numbers released by Realty Trac, a California based real estate company, show that 1,846 homes in Fulton County were in some stage of the foreclosure process in April. Statewide there were 11,521 homes that received foreclosure notices.

That brings the total number of foreclosures for 2009 in Georgia to 44,979. Luckily not all of the homeowners who received those notices will  lose their home. Some who act quickly can save their home by filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. 

If you are facing foreclosure on your home, talk to an Atlanta bankruptcy attorney about your options.
