Dane County foreclosures increase in August

A total of 106 new foreclosures were filed in August, up 26% from the 84 filed in August of 2007. This graphs shows the monthly trend dating back to January of 2005. Foreclosures have been increasing on a year-over-year basis (noted by the red data points) for most of the past three years.



On a year-to-date basis, Dane County foreclosures are up by 51%.


When will foreclosures begin to decrease in a meaningful way? Most likely it's going to take some time. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, a record 9% of all loans are either delinquent or in the process of foreclosure.
