A new survey says foreclosure filings in Connecticut plummeted 22 percent from July to August, while the state’s ranking on the national list dropped nine spots to No. 32, The Associated Press reports.
The report by the foreclosure tracking firm RealtyTrac says foreclosure filings in Connecticut fell from 2,319 in July to 1,796 in August, but whether the state numbers have peaked isn’t clear.
Foreclosure filing increases in the state slowed in April. The numbers dropped in May and June, but increased substantially in July.
The August numbers translated to a foreclosure filings rate of one in every 804 households in Connecticut, much better than the national average of one in every 381 households.
Nevada has the worst rate, with one in 84 households having a filing.
