Wisconsin foreclosure filings down in April

Although foreclosure filings in the country and state still remain high compared to what is considered normal, foreclosures filed in southeastern Wisconsin in April reached a new low.  20 percent fewer foreclosures were filed last month than in April 2010.  The total number of foreclosures filed last April was the lowest of any month for 2 and a half years.

In April 2010, 1,084 foreclosures were filed in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, Washington, Walworth, Kenosha, and Ozaukee counties, while only 864 were filed last month.  The last time that foreclosure filings were lower than 864 in the region was in August 2008 when 792 foreclosures were filed in the counties.
