Foreclosures: ‘April was a shocker’
A record number of foreclosure filings took place during April, but the number of repossessions fell 11%.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Foreclosures in April exceeded even March’s blistering pace with a record 342,000 homes receiving notices of default, auction notices or undergoing bank repossessions, according to a regular industry report.
One of every 374 U.S. homes received a filing during the month, the highest monthly rate that RealtyTrac, an online marketer of foreclosed properties, has recorded in four-plus years of record keeping.
