If you thought the stories you have heard or read about of the foreclosure ridden states of Florida, Nevada, California and Arizona were isolated and not applicable to Connecticut you were wrong. The foreclosure bus has long been going on in these states. You have read it, seen it on 60 minutes, Dateline, CBS nightly news, you name it they have reported on it. Groves of people hopping on a bus and taking a tour of the areas local foreclosed homes.

That foreclosure bus has now hit Connecticut. Taking a look at the mortgages that defaulted and the homes that are left. In an article in the Connecticut Post, Frank Hoinsky the owner of Hoinsky Realty put together that foreclosure tour. They toured homes in Ansonia and Derby, CT. personally if you are looking for a plethora of foreclosures Bridgeport CT is the state leader. However if I am not mistaken the Derby, Ansonia area is Hoinsky Realtys backyard. It is kind of crazy when you think about. You think that ‘those’ stories only happen in the hardest of hit states in the country and then all of sudden it is in your backyard. If nothing else it reconfirms the fact that the real estate crisis is an all of America problem and not just certain isolated states.
