The Top 10 Foreclosure States (as of June)

RealtyTrac's most recent U.S. Foreclosure Market Report found that June foreclosure filings fell 3 percent from May, but they still are up 53 percent from a year ago. All told, one in every 501 American households got a foreclosure filing last month.

From RealtyTracs press release:

"June was the second straight month with more than a quarter-million properties nationwide receiving foreclosure filings," said James J. Saccacio, chief executive officer of RealtyTrac. "Foreclosure activity slipped 3 percent lower from the previous month, but the year-over-year increase of more than 50 percent indicates we have not yet reached the top of this foreclosure cycle. Bank repossessions, or REOs, continue to increase at a much faster pace than default notices or auction notices. REOs in June were up 171 percent from a year ago, while default notices were up 38 percent and auction notices were up 22 percent over the same time period."
