In talking with Sara today from the Douglas County Sherrif’s Department, she gave me the following data:  In 2004 there were 26 foreclosure sales,  in 2005 there were 35 sales,  in 2006 there were 41 sales,  in 2007 there were 89 sales.  To date, in 2008, there has been 10 foreclosure sales.

The report in July 2, 2007 of Foreclosures in Greater Minnesota, had projected 124 sales in 2007 for Douglas County, which would have represented .84% of the 2005 Household Inventory.  Fortunately, our number fell short of the earlier projection.
