As the number of completed foreclosures climbed, the state’s inventory of mortgaged homes in foreclosure fell to 2.2 percent in 2014, according to CoreLogic.
That was down from 3.6 percent in Dec. 2013.
The national average in December was 1.4 percent, down from 2.1 percent a year ago.
Connecticut ended 2014 with the fifth-highest foreclosure inventory rate among the 25 so-called “judicial states,” where lenders must prove the delinquency to courts to move a borrower into foreclosure.
