Foreclosure starts have been dropping nationwide for 15 consecutive months. Repossessions have decreased for 11 consecutive months.<\/p>\n<p>The Associated Press reports that &#8220;the trend reflects a growing appetite among investors for buying homes before they exit the foreclosure process and end up on the market&#8230; Many large investors are eager to buy homes at public auction, where buyers are required to pay cash. That means they don&#8217;t have to compete against typical home buyers who must finance the home purchase.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, the trend is not uniform across the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re still firmly on the road back to normal foreclosure levels, but continue to see the foreclosure problem persist in areas that had delays in the foreclosure process,&#8221; says Blomquist, who notes states such as Florida, New York, and Illinois are seeing many of those delays since courts must sign off on foreclosures there.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/realestate.aol.com\/blog\/2013\/11\/15\/fewer-homes-repossessed-october-2013\/\" target=\"_blank\">Fewer Homes Being Repossessed, Thanks to Investors<\/a>,\u201d The Associated Press (Nov. 15, 2013)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home Repossessions Fall as Investors Step in. &nbsp; &nbsp; The number of foreclosures and repossessions by banks is dropping, and investors may be the ones driving the decrease.
