During August 2013, the rate of real estate foreclosures
in the United States declined. According to RealtyTrac
, an estimated 55,775 residential homes
entered foreclosure in August 2013, which is 8% less than July 2013 and 44% less than August 2012. This foreclosure decrease was helped by easier refinances, better jobs, and rising home values. The number of real estate foreclosures has been declining since it reached a high of 1.05 million homes in 2010.
Real estate foreclosures are expected to drop to an estimated 52,000 a month in early 2014, which is considered to be a normal amount. While the national level of foreclosures is declining, certain states foreclosure number is still high, which could cause a delay in the appearance of normal amount of foreclosures.
