Connecticut had the second largest share of distressed homes sales in June at 14.8 percent, surpassed only by Maryland at 19.4 percent, according to data by CoreLogic.
The property analytics firm reported that across the country, distressed sales, which include real estate owned and short sales, accounted for 7.8 percent of all sales.
While distressed sales fell in most states, they did not fall in Connecticut or seven other states, which included Michigan, Illinois and New Jersey.
While some states stand out as having high distressed sales shares, only North Dakota and the District of Columbia are close to their pre-crisis levels (each within one percentage point), CoreLogic found.
