Total filings for foreclosure commercial properties listings in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas region jumped by more than 50% during the January-August 2010 period compared with the same period of 2009. Over 2,500 foreclosure filings for commercial structures are reportedly posted during the said period.

According to state-based firm Foreclosure Listing Service, unlike the residential property market where foreclosed Dallas fixer uppers and single family dwellings continue to post record numbers, the commercial foreclosure market is actually in a much better position if previous economic and housing market downturns are to be used as basis for comparison.

Local real estate market observers have stated that as various types of residential foreclosures, including Citibank foreclosures for sale, continue to post higher numbers than previous crisis periods, the commercial property market is actually doing better than it was during the market crisis of the 1980s.

In those times, market observers reveal that more than 8,000 commercial bank owned property foreclosures were recorded in just a single-year period. Furthermore, the commercial property sector of the Dallas-Fort Worth area during the 80s is only half the size of the current commercial market.

The latest real estate statistics also showed that commercial properties listings in Dallas and Fort Worth are way below residential foreclosure totals, with foreclosed home filings totaling almost 48,000 during the nine-month period of the current year. When broken down into types, commercial foreclosure filings are mostly accounted for by apartment foreclosures.

Data showed that 376 apartment properties have received a foreclosure notice during the 2010 period which represents a 22% rise when compared with the first nine months of 2009. However, the biggest rise in posting totals can be found among miscellaneous commercial properties and land or those that are categorized as Class C buildings and properties.

When it comes to the location with the highest number of filings for commercial foreclosures, Dallas County takes the prize. The county has a total of 1,052 filings for the January-August 2010 period. However, the biggest increase can be found in Collin County, where foreclosure postings jumped by over 70% in 2010.

For the September 2010 foreclosure auction, the Dallas-Fort Worth area is scheduled to offer commercial properties listings comprised of 285 structures. The number is considerably higher than the 180 foreclosure offerings recorded in September 2009.

Buyers of manufactured foreclosed homes and single family dwellings are the ones most often catered to by the U.S. Federal Housing Authority (FHA). However, due to the wide-ranging impact of the housing market crisis, even pricey condominiums in Manhattan have now associated themselves with the FHA to provide a more flexible payment method to buyers.

With the number of New York foreclosed homes continuing to rise, prices of properties also continue to decline, but with less buyers willing to take advantage of the low prices and make any property purchase. Because of this, even luxury dwellings are using unconventional strategies that can help them sell their units.

The FHA is known to help buyers of repossessed properties for sale and other foreclosed dwellings. Recently, the agency has agreed to insure the mortgages for the condominium units at the Gramercy Park project called Tempo. The agreement will allow buyers to provide a down payment of 3.5% for the apartments in a neighborhood where apartments and condominiums usually sell for at least $820,000 a unit.

With the recession hitting the income of most buyers, some of them usually opt for the cheaper manufactured foreclosed homes instead of purchasing single family dwellings or apartments. With the FHA collaboration, developers of Tempo are hoping that more people will be able to afford a unit from their project.

According to the people behind the condo development project, the FHA approval will help them sell the apartments in a market where homebuyers are mostly reluctant to make a purchase, even for cheaper foreclosed property at auctions. With sales stalling in the pricier residential property market, a help from the federal agency is expected to go a long way.

Several other condominium development projects in Manhattan have reportedly sought FHA backing following the agency's decision to loosen its financing rules. Changes in FHA rules have resulted in the agency having the ability to insure mortgage loans even in projects with only 30% of the units in contract.

The latest development is expected to give homebuyers a home purchase choice beyond manufactured foreclosed homes. It is also projected to fill in the gap left by Fannie Mae when the mortgage firm decided to tighten its lending rules for condominiums in 2009.
