RealtyTrac announced today that foreclosure filings were up 71% nationwide, in the third quarter over the same period last year. Astoundingly, approximately 766,000 homeowners had a sheriff show up at the door and with a foreclosure complaint in hand! Six states made up for nearly 60% of the list: Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, and Nevada. Most respected experts believe that this trend will continue well into 2010 as the market absorbs the inventory that is just now coming online.
