U.S. foreclosures declined 10 percent in January compared to December, but were still up 15 percent year over year, foreclosure marketer RealtyTrac reported Thursday.
RealtyTrac CEO James Saccacio predicted an increase on the horizon: “January foreclosure numbers are exhibiting a pattern very similar to a year ago: a double-digit percentage jump in December foreclosure activity followed by a 10 percent drop in January, then a surge in foreclosures over the next few months.”
States with the top 10 foreclosure rates are:
1. Nevada
2. Arizona
3. California
4. Florida
5. Utah
6. Idaho
7. Michigan
8. Illinois
9. Oregon
10. Georgia
Six states account for nearly 60 percent of the national total: California, Florida, Arizona, Illinois and Michigan.
