Growing numbers of families in Tarrant County are being hit where they live by the current economic conditions. According to numbers issued by Foreclosure Listing Service, filings for the September auction are up 9.5 percent from the August number and 54 percent increase from September 2008.
The Addison based company tracks foreclosure numbers across the country. George Roddy, president of Foreclosure Listing Service, said that although the Metroplex hasn’t been hit as hard as other parts of the country, residential foreclosure has risen exponentially here too.

So far this year in Tarrant County, 14,635 homes have been posted for foreclosure.
