Overseas property news - 'how we're losing our multi-million dollar home'

'how we're losing our multi-million dollar home'

Like millions of Americans, Joanne and John Buchanan are facing foreclosure. But at a value of more than $2 million, the home they stand to lose isn't your average delinquency.

For the Buchanans, it's the dream house they built from the ground up in a resort community near Breckenridge, Colo., in 2003. It took them almost two years and about $2.2 million to build -- and soon they will have to move out.

For years, homeowners at the high end of the housing market were able to postpone the foreclosure process, but now multi-million dollar homes are becoming more commonplace in America's foreclosure pipeline. In fact, America's wealthiest families are now losing their homes to foreclosure at a faster rate than the rest of the country, according to RealtyTrac.

Out of all foreclosure activity, the share of foreclosures on multi-million dollar properties -- or homes valued at more than $2 million -- has jumped by 273% since 2007.
