Greenville Home Staging

South Carolina's foreclosure rate keeps falling. In November, the rate dropped 0.49% from October, to 2,021 properties. Nationwide, foreclosures in November were down 7%.
 
That's significant, according to RealtyTrac, a national tracking firm whose data also is used by The Wall Street Journal to follow foreclosure trends. Foreclosure notices went from one for every 452 homes in the U.S. in October to one for every 488 homes in November. In September, the ratio was slightly higher, at one in every 475 homes.
 
RealtyTrac is forecasting that the trend will increase in the first few months of 2009.
 

 
The state had 2,021 properties in some state of foreclosure in November, compared with 2,031 in October. The October number was a 7.7% drop from September's numbers.
 
Those figures put South Carolina at 24th out of the 50 states and Washington, D.C. The states with the highest foreclosure rates were the ones industry watchers have come to expect: Arizona, Florida and Nevada. For comparison, Nevada had 13,962 foreclosures for the month.
