Counties account for over 92 percent of all U.S. housing units Data is collected primarily by network of abstractors Monthly counts are based on date the document/posting/notice was uploaded into the RealtyTrac database, not the recording date
Where we ve been: 2005-2010 Foreclosure Review An historically unprecedented cycle First wave not started by usual economic trends, but by unsustainable home prices and high-risk monetary and underwriting practices Sub-prime loans started the wave, and provided the tipping point for the mortgage market meltdown Properties with foreclosure filings have exceeded 300,000 for 20 consecutive months through Oct. 2010 March 2010 was the highest month ever in terms of foreclosure activity, with over 367,000 U.S. households receiving a foreclosure notice That will trend will be broken in November because of fallout from robo-signing controversy

Where we re going Foreclosure levels remain at a high plateau in 2011 Unemployment will drive high levels of foreclosure activity through 2011 Resetting option ARMs could also contribute to continued high foreclosure levels Foreclosure activity turns corner 2012 to 2014 Optimistically, levels could start declining consistently in 2012, which would match the typical seven-year window we have seen with high foreclosure cycles in the past. Pessimistically, the cycle pushed out up to two years because of the delays we ve seen over the past two years in getting the distressed inventory cleared.
