US Foreclosures May 2009
Foreclosures - The number of U.S. households on the verge of losing their homes dipped in May from April, and the annual increase was the smallest in three years.
But as layoffs, rather than risky mortgages, become the main reason that borrowers default on their home loans, foreclosures likely will remain elevated this year and into 2010. Many economists expect unemployment, now at 9.4% nationwide, to rise as high as 10 percent, and some project it will exceed the post-World War II record of 10.8%.
Foreclosure filings fell 6 percent in May from April, according to RealtyTrac Inc. More than 321,000 households received at least one foreclosure-related notice last month 18% more than a year earlier but the smallest annual gain since June 2006.
Despite the drop from April, it was the third-highest monthly rate since Irvine, Calif. based Realty Trac began its report in January 2005, and the third straight month with more than 300,000 households receiving a foreclosure filing.
