2010 Foreclosures up 1.7%

Foreclosure data company RealtyTrac recently released its 2010 year-end data indicating a 1.7% increase in U.S. property foreclosure-related filings. Sorry, Las Vegas, but you received the dubious honor of being #1 for foreclosure filings, with a whopping 1 in 9 properties.
Foreclosure activity also increased in 149 of the 206 metro areas exceeding a population of 200,000.
RealtyTrac CEO James J. Saccacio said in a statement, "Foreclosure levels remained five to 10 times higher than historic norms in most of those hard-hit markets, where deep faultlines of risk remain and could potentially trigger more waves of foreclosure activity in 2011 and beyond."
