St. Louis REALTOR, Dennis Norman foreclosures

The St Louis foreclosure rates was 1.62 percent for June 2011, down from 1.71 percent the month before and up from June 2010 when the rate was 1.44 percent, according to a newly released data from CoreLogic. As usual, the St Louis foreclosure rate is significantly lower than the national foreclosure rate, which was 3.46 percent for June 2011.

Other good news in the report is that the St Louis mortgage delinquency rate has decreased as well dropping to 4.63 percent in June 2011 down from 5.25 percent for the same period last year. As long as mortgage delinquencies continue to decline we will see a decline in the foreclosure rate and, ultimately, the number of REO’s (banked owned real estate) which will help us crawl our way toward a recovery of the housing market. It will be a long slow process, but at least things appear to be headed the right direction in St Louis for now.
