Foreclosure Inventory Plunges 33% | Realtor Magazine

"Job growth and home-value appreciation have worked to push the serious delinquency rate to the lowest since mid-2008 and foreclosures down by one-third from a year ago," says Frank Nothaft, chief economist at CoreLogic. "With economic growth in 2015 expected to be better than last year, further declines in both delinquencies and foreclosures are projected for this year."

Still, the foreclosure crisis isn’t over yet. In January, about 549,000 homes remained in some stage of foreclosure – compared to 822,000 homes in January 2014. The foreclosure inventory comprised 1.4 percent of all homes with a mortgage in January.

"The foreclosure inventory continues to shrink with declines in all 50 states over the past 12 months," says Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of CoreLogic. "Florida, one of the hardest hit states during the foreclosure crisis, experienced a decline of almost 50 percent year over year, which is outstanding news."
