In , Detroit had topped the nation in foreclosures, with nearly 5 percent of its homes in some stage of the process. Though saw a 26 percent decline in foreclosures across Metro Detroit , more than 75, foreclosure filings were still processed in the metropolitan area. According to RealtyTrac, one in every housing units in Detroit received a foreclosure filing in December -- compared to one in every units in Wayne County and one in every housing units in the U.
Alsup and Paffendorf said there are many possible uses for their improved site. Detroiters could visualize the privately created Detroit Future City framework, which provides a road map for city development over the next four decades , using WDWOT's data. Community organizations could build private maps to keep track of abandoned lots in their neighborhood. Organizations working on foreclosure prevention may find the data to be more proactive.
But not everyone sees the open access to information as a good thing. When WDWOT first made information from the massive county foreclosure auction readily available online, some wondered if the site would just help out-of-state speculators to buy up property on the cheap -- with no intention of ever improving it. Ted Phillips, executive director of Detroit's United Community Housing Coalition, told the Detroit News that the new information available could make it easier for scam artists to target individuals who are facing foreclosure.
Alsup and Paffendorf acknowledge that the information could be used in ways that won't help the city. Anyone who wants to start Blexting can do so by going to blext.

Our first mission for Detroit is to survey the 16, properties headed to the second round of the Wayne County Tax Foreclosure Auction. Many of these properties are blighted, and many still have people living in them. We want to help focus resources on occupied properties, starting by determining where exactly they are.
Many speak of the tens of thousands of structures that sit vacant and blighted across Detroit, yet there is limited understanding of where these structures are, who owns them, and what their condition is. With community action and tools like Blexting, this can change. Get in touch with questions or comments at Team makeloveland. We work with governments, neighborhood groups, development, and conservation projects to gather and present public information about properties the physical space and legal subdivisions that define the world in clearer, more actionable ways.
At Loveland Technologies , we are geared up to keep you informed on everything auction. Every year, the Wayne County Treasurer forecloses on properties in Wayne County that have not paid property taxes in three years. In an effort to recoup unpaid taxes, a foreclosure auction is held where these properties are auctioned off in two rounds.
In the first round, properties are auctioned for the total amount of back taxes owed. Last year, 20, Detroit properties went to auction. For the first round of the auction, property information is released, and registration begins, August 20th and runs through September 13th.
Bidding begins September 4th and bids close from September 23rd - 26th. So, yes, registration will still be open as the auction begins. Second round registration runs September 30th - October 11th, with bidding open from October 8th - October 21st to the 25th.
Final property information should be available October 3rd. This is when cities have the opportunity to buy properties that are headed to auction for the amount owed in back taxes. In solidarity with Detroit, Realauction filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on July 31st kidding about the solidarity part, serious about the bankruptcy part…. Realauction was entangled in a patent infringement lawsuit by online government auction behemoth, Grant Street Group, earlier this year.
Until right of refusal for cities concludes, preventing foreclosure for properties at risk this year is on hold. There will be another window of opportunity after the right of refusal period.
One significant difference in bidding is that there will be no jump bidding this year. You can still set your maximum bid, which will be moved to incrementally. We do our best to keep information like this fresh and up to date, but there are still things that are missed, old, or just plain wrong. If you see any of that, let us know. We will change it! You can contact us at team makeloveland. At Loveland Technologies , we picked up our Google Glass yesterday!
