What a strange Golden Age - U.S. Foreclosure Filings Spike 18%: Delaware, South Carolina, and Florida Top the List [View all]
Foreclosure filings climbed in April, with Delaware, South Carolina, and Florida emerging as the nation's primary hot spots for distressed property activity.
Across the U.S., foreclosure rates are up 18% from a year ago, according to the latest data from ATTOM. And in the last month, there were a total of 42,430 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings. The total includes default notices, scheduled auctions, and bank repossessions. While that might seem high, it's down 8% from March.
Meanwhile, foreclosure starts were up 12% from a year ago, while completed foreclosures increased 42%.
"Foreclosure activity continued its gradual trend higher in April, with both foreclosure starts and completed foreclosures posting annual gains," said Rob Barber, CEO of ATTOM.
