Seems there are still many foreclosures around that may be a good purchase for investors.

This is  wonderful information to share with buyers in Maryland.  Some buyers are particularly interested in foreclosures.

Hi Roy... I don't know about the entire state of North Carolina, but I don't believe Charlotte comes close to these numbers. Our foreclosure sales are barely 1% of total sales in our mls.

Roy, surprised to see such a high number, as we don't see many foreclosures around here.

North Carolina saw fewer foreclosures begin last year but still had one of the higher rates of foreclosure filings in the United States for 2017, according to a new report. The Tar Heel state was ranked 15th for foreclosure rates in 2017, according to a study of ATTOM Data Solutions property database. The total number of housing units with foreclosure filings in North Carolina for the year represented .52 percent of total housing units in the state, but overall the number of foreclosure filings decreased compared to 2016.

That's quite a high number for me, but this is from someone who works a much smaller area.

I'll check the link, but locally we don't see many foreclosures these days. Much to the chagrin of investors. D
