A couple weeks ago we learned that, nationally, foreclosures were trending downward. However, looking deeper into that data (courtesy of ATTOM Data Solutions’ ReatyTrac) reveals that 13 states have actually seen year-over-year increases in the number of foreclosure starts – with Delaware leading the pack with a 113% increase. Overall, data show that one in every 1,540 U.S. housing units had a foreclosure filing during the month of July.
The states showing an increase in foreclosure starts are:
- Delaware: foreclosure starts jumped 113%
- Arizona: up 76%
- Utah: up 63%
- Connecticut: up 50%
- Oregon: up 20%
- South Carolina: up 3%
- Massachusetts: up 3%
- Virginia: up 3%
