Ann Arbor Foreclosures Lower than the National Rate, but Delinquency Rates Increase

Ann Arbor Foreclosures Lower than the National Rate, but Delinquency Rates Increase.

Many sellers ask me should we sell now or wait until the market comes back? I answer by telling them two things.

* Why are they selling?
* How do any of us know when the market is coming back?

According to recent data from First American CoreLogic on foreclosures for the Ann Arbor area, the rate of foreclosures among outstanding mortgage loans is 1.29 percent for the month of October, an increase of 0.59 percentage points compared to October of 2008 when the rate was 0.70 percent.

* Foreclosure activity in Ann Arbor is lower than the national foreclosure rate which was 3.02 percent for October 2009, representing a 1.73 percentage point difference.

However in Ann Arbor, the mortgage delinquency rate has increased. According to First American CoreLogic data for October 2009, 4.85 percent of mortgage loans were 90 days or more delinquent compared to 3.25 percent for the same period last year, representing an increase of 1.60 percentage points.
