The rise of foreclosure cases in Miami-Dade County is overloading the County Clerk's office, causing the office to expand its auction days from two to three days per week.

"A flood of foreclosures has forced county offices in Miami-Dade and Broward counties to expand their services to handle the load.

With more than 1,000 foreclosed homes ready to hit the auction block in February, the Miami-Dade County Clerk's office is increasing the number of days it hold auctions from two to three per week.

'We've been running into some serious problems,' said Michael Henderson, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade clerk. 'We've needed an extra day for a couple of months now.'"
