Foreclosures are a growing epidemic impacting not only many individual families, but the economic recovery as a whole. Whether your circumstance was caused by an increase in your interest rate, a loss of employment, decrease in income, divorce, death, or hospitalization of someone in your family, we can help.
Florida continues to hold on to its number three position for foreclosure filings in the country. In the third quarter, one in every 56 homes received a foreclosure filing. Nevada continues to lead the nation, and Arizona was second.
Florida foreclosure activity increased 12% from the previous quarter and was flat from a year ago, giving Florida the second largest foreclosure activity total, with a 157,026 properties receiving a foreclosure filing.
However, the recent moratorium on foreclosures, by several major lenders, in light of the “robo signing” revelations, will likely result in a reduction of foreclosures in the fourth quarter. Foreclosure activity in the 24 states that require foreclosures to be filed through the courts, including Florida, most affected by the foreclosure documentation issue plaguing many banks accounts for 40% of all foreclosure activity in the third quarter and 36% of all bank repossessions.
