DS News tracks the latest and most relevant industry
surveys and data to keep you in the know. Last month,
RealtyTrac came out with its yearly tally of properties
in foreclosure in 2012: 1,836,634. So how does last
year's foreclosure frequency stack up? Charting the
numbers back to 2005—the pre-crisis days—you can
see how far we've come from the peak-high just two
years ago, but you can also see just how far we still
have to go to get back to more balanced market conditions with annual filings in the half-million range.
