We previously posted on our Chicago Bankruptcy Lawyers Blog that the number of foreclosures in Chicago fell 16 percent in March when compared to March of 2010. Year-to-year comparisons don’t always paint the entire picture of what is currently happening in today’s market.
Chicago Breaking Business reported 2,800 properties became bank-owned in Cook County during the first quarter of 2011, indicating a 10.5 percent increase in completed foreclosures when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.
Conversely, completed foreclosure auctions were down over 50 percent when compared to the first quarter of 2010.
Our Chicago bankruptcy lawyers know the stress that homeowners go through when they are about to lose their house.
