MIAMI, Fla. — ForeclosureDeals.com, a leading online foreclosure listings service announces that real estate executives say the regions that saw the biggest price spikes during the bubble continue to wrestle with the most foreclosures: California, Florida, Nevada and Arizona. According to ForeclosureDeals, in the month of May, alone, California reported 92,249 properties with foreclosure filings – the highest total of any state.
In Florida, while scheduled auctions and bank repossessions were down from the previous month, the state still posted the nation’s second highest number of properties with foreclosure filings: 58,931.
Nevada documented 17,157 properties with foreclosure filings, pushing its foreclosure activity up five percent from the previous month.
Other states with totals among the 10 highest in the country were: Arizona, (16,865); Michigan (13,891); Ohio (11,360); Illinois (10,942); Georgia (10,516); Texas (9,813); and Virginia (5,385). The top 10 states account for nearly 77 percent of foreclosure filings, nationwide.
“In looking to the future, there is still too much uncertainty in the overall economy that will, without a doubt, only create more foreclosures,” Matt Bradley, lead analyst for ForeclosureDeals.com, says.
