U.S. foreclosures have climbed to 230,678 in October, up 7% from September, reports Realty Trac.

 

 

However, foreclosures are down 31% from a year ago.

“The October foreclosure numbers continue to show strong signs that foreclosure activity is coming out of the rain delay we’ve been in for the past year as lenders corrected foreclosure paperwork and processing problems,” said James Saccacio, CEO of RealtyTrac.
