Foreclosures increase for high end homes

According to recent data released by CoreLogic, many high end homes are undergoing foreclosure procedures even as the overall foreclosure rate continues to improve, The Wall Street Journal stated on March 5.

Though overall foreclosure rates at the end of 2014 reduced by 1.4 percent, luxury homes with mortgages of $750,000 or higher have increased by 2.5 percent. The trend of increasing foreclosure rate in homes with high mortgages started in March 2008 as the country was hit by a foreclosure crisis. A CoreLogic economist explained that wealthier homeowners were affected by the depleting stock market.
