The increase in home prices and a stable job market have caused foreclosures to decline across South Florida. The first half of this year, 12,463 homes were in some stage of foreclosure, down 33 percent from a year ago and 56 percent from the same period in 2015, according to ATTOM Data Solutions.
Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach will close out the year with a fraction of the total that occurred during the 2009 peek of the housing crisis, when there were 172,854 properties in the process of foreclosure. Statewide, foreclosures are down 34 percent from a year ago and 56 percent from 2015.
South Florida is on pace to finish 2017 with a foreclosure rate of about 1 percent. Numbers have not been that low in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach since 2006.
