I heard foreclosures are rising. Should we worry about another 2008?

Today's lending standards differ meaningfully from what led into 2008, since widely available no-documentation and subprime loans that fueled that crisis are no longer standard underwriting practice at most lenders. No verified foreclosure statistic is published on this site to confirm a rising trend either way. Checking current, sourced data through your county's Clerk of Superior Court public filings, rather than a repeated headline, is the way to see what's actually happening locally.
