March Looked Better for Tennessee

Posted in General Real Estate Info by Karen Rhodes on April 22nd, 2007

RealtyTrac has released it’s market report on March foreclosures.  The report shows 149,150 properties nationwide entered some stage of foreclosure during the month, a increase of 6.6 percent from the previous month and an increase of a wopping 46.81 percent from March 2006.  That’s 1 in every 775 households! 

We saw some improvement in Tennessee in March.  Yee Haa!!  We had the 14th highest rate in the nation.  Not good you say?  Well, I agree but it’s a huge improvement over last month and even last year.  1 in 772 households for a decrease over last month of 17% and 6.5% over last March.  At least March was a step in the right direction and hopefully the trend will continue.

The 10 highest were:

10  Illinois
  9  Indiana
  8  Ohio
  7  Florida
  6  Michigan
  5  Arizona
  4  Georgia
  3  California
  2  Colorado
  1  Nevada
