Right now I am in Detoit, Michigan for the NCAA Final Four. Go Heels! While here it is obvious to see how much Detroit is economically suffering. The people are friendly and the city is in much need of the tourism here for the weekend.
Foreclosed homes in Detroit are selling from $1.00 to $10,000 and foreign buyers are snapping them up, according to a report in the Chicago Tribune. Real estate agent Michael Shannon recently sold 30 homes in one day to one buyer. A trio of U.K. investors has bought a half-dozen and plans many more. "I thought it would be quite good fun to have a look," said Darren Veness, an investor from Brighton, England.
Detroit has been hit hard by the economic downturn and currently has one of the lowest home ownership rates in the country. Veness and his colleagues "have considered other U.S. cities," says the report, "but so far Detroit is it. For them, it's simple: The homes are cheap and plentiful."
