The improvement in the national employment outlook and the economy as a whole has caused the foreclosure market
to decrease on average and has given some home owners a sense of relief. But averages do not always tell the whole
story. While some states may be headed in the right direction, the data shows that it isn't the case everywhere. This
month's State of Affairs section offers an overall look at the market based on all important industry factors. In the
following pages, State markets are divided by regions so that you can quickly find the areas that are important to you
and compare the information to what is happening across the country so that you have a full picture of the health
of the industry at large and in your state. 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 September 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 September 2014 based upon public
information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
