Pickens County GA Foreclosures Facing Another Bad Month in September

The number of Pickens County, Georgia, homes, land lots, commercial properties, and other real esate, reported as being scheduled for foreclosure action and sold at auction on the courthouse steps in Jasper on the first Tuesday in September, after appearing to pull back in August, surged back up for September.

The number of properties of various types listed as facing foreclosure next month alone, here in Jasper, Big Canoe, Talking Rock and surrounding areas, climbed back up to 55, (after dropping to 38 in August), which seems like a lot for a small county like Pickens. As has been the case for the past several months, not all are home foreclosures, with land and commercial real estate working their way into the mix as well, and in some cases there are multiple actions against a single party.

Regardless of property type or the number of parties involved, it is hard to escape or ignore the impact of these bank repossessions on the community and the families that live here. We can only hope to see some relief in months to come.
