With midterm elections around the corner and voting having begun in many areas combined with a foreclosure crisis and toppled housing market, both consumers and real estate industry professionals will be taking a close look at what is best for the housing sector as they cast their vote.
Right now, Republican districts have a 31% higher foreclosure rate than Democratic districts, but the 25 most Liberal districts have a 60% higher foreclosure rate than the 25 most Conservative.
Although Democrats make up 27 of the 50 worst performing districts, they experienced a 10.2% drop in foreclosure rates since the 2008 elections while Republican districts jumped up 8.6%.
