According to real estate data firm, RealtyTrac, the U.S. recorded 442,117 foreclosure filings in the first quarter of 2013, a 23% drop from a year ago and the lowest level since the second quarter of 2007. Last month, banks repossessed 43,597 properties, the lowest since September 2007 when repossessions topped 100,000 a month. “We’re getting back to normal and will be there by next year,” said Daren Blomquist, Vice President at RealtyTrac.
We’ve noticed a decrease of the number of properties at the monthly foreclosure sales which is causing some properties to be sold above retail prices.
