CoreLogic's April 2015 National Foreclosure Report released this week found that four met- ropolitan areas accounted for 10 percent of the nation's completed foreclosures for the 12-month period ending April 30, 2015. In addition, about 45 percent of the completed foreclosures during that same period occurred in five states. e four metro areas that accounted for 10 percent of nation's 537,648 completed foreclo- sures over the 12-month period ending in April 2015 were Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Florida, leading the way with 16,664; Atlanta- Sandy Springs-Roswell, Georgia with 14,815; Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, Florida, with 14,037; and Houston-e Woodlands-Sugar Land, Texas, with 7,722. ese four areas together combined for 53,238 completed fore- closures in the last 12 months. e Tampa and Orlando areas had foreclosure inventory and serious delinquency rates well above the na- tional averages – Tampa's foreclosure inventory rate of 3.9 percent was nearly three times the national rate of 1.4 percent, while Orlando had double the national rate of foreclosure inventory at 2.8 percent. Tampa's serious delinquency rate of 7.7 percent was more than double the national average of 3.6 percent, while Orlando's serious delinquency rate was 6.4 percent. Meanwhile, Atlanta and Houston had foreclosure inventories and serious delinquency rates well below the national averages. e fore- closure inventory rates in Atlanta and Houston were 0.8 and 0.6 percent, respectively, and the serious delinquency rates were, respectively, 3.5 percent and 2.5 percent. e five states that accounted for 45 percent of those 537,648 completed foreclosures in the last 12 months were Florida (106,000), Michi- gan (49,000), Texas (33,000), Ohio (28,000), and Georgia (27,000), for a total of approxi- mately 243,000.
