| RealtyTrac continues to miss the mark on Long Island Foreclosure numbers.
A recent Newsday article using RealtyTrac’s figures stated that the February numbers showed a 23% jump in foreclosure related filings from a year earlier.
In actuality, using Lis Pendens filings as the measure, there was a 41% decrease from February 2010.
While RealtyTrac mentions the biggest year-over-year decrease nationwide, they reported Long Island numbers as increasing.
The table and charts below show the Lis Pendens filings figures for the past 6+ years.
Due to the continuing increase in re-filings (Lis Pendens approaching the 3 year expiration), particularly in Suffolk County, the charts and tables have been modified to separate the new filings from the re-files. (See our previous post on this topic.)
Note the extremely high percentage of the total filings in February 2011 for Suffolk County.
31% of the total filings for the month were renewals.
While it is unlikely that this trend will continue over time, there is no doubting the fact that Long Island Lis Pendens filings have been dropping dramatically. |
