Banks take back 367,000 homes in foreclosure surge across US

Property foreclosures are on the rise again, dragging anxiety back into neighbourhoods that had largely forgotten the meaning of the word. Numbers show that lenders moved to seize hundreds of thousands of homes last year, a shift that signals real strain beneath the surface of the American housing market. While this isn’t 2008 (thankfully), plenty of warning signs are flashing.
