I'd have to dig up my notes. I was there in Sept for the auction for 10 days, drove a couple hundred miles over a couple days, just in Detroit. I probably went through Hamtramck a couple times, Grosse Pointe had almost no foreclosures.

I didn't buy anything, for a myriad of reasons. Nearly everything was ruined, could get something on the open market for lower marginal cost of repair. The only homes, and I say homes, worth buying were those clearly occupied, all by old people that had lived there for many years. I am not going to be that person.
