Locally based RealtyTrac recently released its US Foreclosure Market Report for October 2011, which shows foreclosure filings—default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions—were reported on 230,678 US properties for the month, a 7% increase from September. The report also shows one in every 563 US housing units with a foreclosure filing during the month. Local experts say the uptick will continue.
