Nationwide foreclosure inventory decreases as completed foreclosures increase

A California-based real estate information provider observed that there was an increase in completed foreclosure procedures nationwide, but the foreclosure inventory has decreased, a November 8 article of Housing Wire reported.

According to CoreLogic’s September data, there was a 31.1 percent decrease in yearly nationwide foreclosure inventory, which amounts to a 3.1 percent decrease on a monthly basis. CoreLogic noted the recent trend can still be perceived positively because the housing market has been eliminating its inventories faster than homeowners who are starting to file for foreclosures. The completed foreclosure rate nationwide increased in September by 5.2 percent in monthly terms. However, the rate is still down by 7 percent annually.
