Foreclosures Continue to Fall From Last Year's Levels

Foreclosure starts are down 13 percent from a year ago when they had reached a 17-month high, RealtyTrac reports. Foreclosure starts include default notices or scheduled foreclosure auctions.
Many experts had been predicting a foreclosure wave to occur this summer with foreclosures reaching elevated levels. But the ?wave? has yet to materialize. Foreclosure starts increased 1 percent in August from July but remain well-below year ago levels.
Several states saw large decreases in foreclosure starts in August:
Oregon - 89% decrease
Nevada - 64% decrease
Utah- 57% decrease
Massachusetts - 47% decrease
California - 42% decrease
Arizona - 41% decrease
Georgia - 31% decrease
Foreclosure filings?which includes default notices, scheduled auctions, and bank repossessions?increased 1 percent in August compared to July, but were still down 15 percent from last year's levels. Also, bank repossessions decreased in August by 2 percent compared to the previous month, marking the 22nd month for declines, RealtyTrac reported.
