Rising Foreclosures This Year
Recent research by RealtyTrac Year-End 2009 Foreclosure Market Report shows us that 3,957,643 foreclosure filings have been reported on 2,824,674 U.S. properties in the year of 2009. This also includes foreclosure auctions that were scheduled, default notices and bank repossessions.

This is a twenty one percent increase in land from statistics in data that was collected in 2008, and a one hundred and twenty percent increase in total properties from 2007. Additionally the report indicated that one in forty five housing units, 2.21 percent, got at least one foreclosure filing in the year of 2009, up from 2008's 1.48 percent and 2007's 1.03 percent.
In the month of just December, foreclosure filings measured out to 349,519 properties in December. This marks a fourteen percent jump from the last month of November and a fifteen percent increase from 2008. However, even though there was an increase in December, foreclosure activity in the fourth quarter of 2008 has decreased by seven percent.
Of all of the states in America, Nevada took the nation's highest state foreclosure rate; more than ten percent of housing units received at least one foreclosure filing in 2009. This is Nevada's third consecutive year at the top of the foreclosure list. Nevada's foreclosure activity in the month of December increased twenty seven percent from the previous month, however it still was down by twenty two percent from December of 08.
Arizona took the nation's second highest state foreclosure rate in 2009 with six percent or more of properties that had at least one foreclosure filing during 2009, and Florida took the nation's third highest foreclosure rate at 5.93 percent of its properties receiving at least one foreclosure during the filing year.
This raises concerns in the debt collection industry. Recent trends have noted that consumers are pumping up their credit debt and low balling their assets to receive lower payment plans. The fact that they are maxing out their credit cards to receive lower payment plans does not look promising.
