States with the highest foreclosure rates were New Jersey (one in every 980 housing units with a foreclosure filing); Maryland (one in every 1,218 housing units); Delaware (one in every 1,249 housing units); Illinois (one in every 1,371 housing units); and Florida (one in every 1,415 housing units).

  “While overall foreclosure activity is down nationwide, there are still parts of the country that we need to keep a close eye on,” said Todd Teta, chief product officer at ATTOM Data Solutions.

 “For instance, Florida is seeing a steady annual increase in total foreclosure activity for the 8^th consecutive month, which is being sustained by a constant annual double-digit increase in foreclosure starts.”
