As the foreclosure market continues to stabilize and the labor market continues to turn a corner in terms of job access,
giving Americans some sense of relief. There's an air of confidence that perhaps the economy is finally heading
towards stable shores. In some states this may be true, but the data shows that is not the case everywhere. This
month's State of Affairs section offers an overall look at the market based on important industry factors. In the
following pages, state markets are divided by regions so that you can quickly find the areas that are relevant to you
and compare what's happening across the country with what's going on in your neck of the woods. In the Northeast,
Midwest, South, and West, there are owners, buyers, investors, vendors, and others all looking to improve their local
economies and protect their investments. Take a look at the full scope of the marketplace from coast to coast and
specifically in your region.
Note: The state-by-state trends are based on a compilation
of April 2014 real estate public records data and proprietary
mortgage loan performance transactions provided by LPS
Data & Analytics as well as a preliminary unemployment rate for
April 2014 based upon public information from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics.
