"While foreclosures are not at historically high levels, a 42%
year-over-year increase is certainly noteworthy," says James J. Saccacio,
chief executive officer of RealtyTrac. The increase in foreclosures last year,
Saccacio explains, was driven both by a general deceleration in home sales
across the country and the impact of increases in monthly payments on
adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs).
