LENDER CORNER: Foreclosures Decrease
Mortgage servicers completed more than three times as many loan modifications and other home retention actions as they did foreclosures and other home forfeitures in the fourth quarter of 2010, according to new government figures released today.

The percentage of mortgages listed as delinquent or in foreclosure fell to its lowest level in a year and a half, with 87.6 percent of home loans listed as current and performing.

This should lead to higher property values for current homeowners and those looking to get into the market.  Many experts are expecting lower foreclosure rates combined with historic low interest rates, that buying activity will increase in the summer months.
