My friends at the Minnesota Home Ownership Center released an update to their preforeclosure stats today that show preforeclosure notices are down 25% from a year ago and 17% from last quarter:
This is great news at it signals even fewer foreclosures for Minnesota in the future. Preforeclosure notices typically go out 2-6 months before a sheriff sale occurs. Thus with this information, I can project out into 2013 and tell you that even fewer foreclosures will be for sale in the next 8-12 months than there are today.
While there are still a lot of homeowners behind in their payments and at risk of foreclosure, those numbers are declining as well. Every area is responding a little different however so some communities have almost no foreclosures while others still have substantial numbers.
