Foreclosure Activity Falls to Pre-Bubble Levels – Distressed Home Sales In St Louis Getting Harder To Find

There were 293,190 foreclosure filings in the U.S. during the 3rd quarter of 2016, which is a decrease of 10 percent from a year ago, according to a report released today by Attom Data Solutions.  This marks the fourth consecutive quarter in which foreclosure activity has decreased on a year-over-year basis and continues the steady downward decline in foreclosure activity we have seen for 6 years and has now finally fallen back to levels we saw prior to the housing bubble.

St Louis Distressed Home Sales Decline

Given the downward trend in foreclosure activity, it is not surprising that distressed home sales in St Louis (foreclosures, REO’s and short-sales) have declined as well.  As the chart below shows, over the past 24 months distressed home sales in the St Louis core market (the city of St Louis and counties of St Louis, St Charles, Jefferson and Franklin) peaked in April of 2015 with 300 distressed home sales but have trended downwardly since to 165 distressed home sales last month.  St Louis distressed home prices have remained fairly constant over the past 24 months. with a median sales price of $61,276 over the 2-year period and a median sold price of $60,550 in September.
