Every Dot on This Map Represents a Property in Trouble

Thankfully, we're not quite at the point in 2012 where we have to leave the 2011 roundups behind, so here's one more, from the folks at PropertyShark. The city-wide map plots all of NYC's distressed residential properties (foreclosures and pre-foreclosures) for last year. The number of dots on that map look overwhelming? Take heart: the 12,177 distressed properties in NYC in 2011 was actually 34 percent lower than 2010's number and 46 percent lower than the peak seen in 2008.
