The still-soaring foreclosure rate is prompting changes in the way the nation's major credit bureaus evaluate credit risk and determine credit scores. Changing consumer attitudes about credit responsibility sparked by the devastated housing market, high unemployment and a recessionary economy have too often left mortgage lenders holding the bag. An increasing number of homeowners, even those with respectable credit scores, are handing over the keys and walking away from their mortgage loans.

For people seeking a life-care community, taking a look at Duncaster in Bloomfield is well worth your time. This community, built in 1984, has aged very nicely - due in part to forward-thinking during the initial design process. The 189 residences range from efficiencies (500 sf) up to 3-BR units (1,600 sf) and each apartment has either a balcony or patio. There is also a 60-bed nursing home on the premises. With my mother actively researching retirement communities, I visited this morning for a realtor luncheon to re-acquaint myself with this facility. I was pleased to see the pool/spa/physical therapy/fitness center addition (about 4 years young), which features an olympic length pool (kept at 83 degrees) and a large hot-tub (at 93 degrees). Both have ramps for easy access. During sno... 02/20/2009
