One out of every 122 homes in South Florida was in some stage of foreclosure in October, the report found. After increasing steadily for months, bank repossessions fell 19.7 percent in Miami-Dade County in October compared to the previous month, dropping to 1,740. Monroe County had 98 foreclosures in October, down 38 percent for the month and down 47 percent from last October.
