Foreclosure rate in Russell County among highest in state

Real estate experts recently observed that the Russell County foreclosure rate is one of the highest in the state of Alabama, making its way to the 9th spot, an article of wtvm.com reported on June 30.

According to reports, of every 1,200 homes in Russell County, at least one is being foreclosed upon. Members of the community do not find this development to be a surprise, since The Department of Defense cut 3,000 jobs at the nearby military base, Fort Benning. Military personnel either own or lease many of the houses in Fort Mitchell since it makes an easy commute to Fort Benning, which is one of the biggest employers in the area. Although the foreclosure rate in the area has increased, increased foreclosures translate to lower prices for buyers.
