In December WA state Senator Patty Murray’s office released a news memo announcing additional funding for foreclosure counseling. Stats within the press release state:
Washington state had 4,278 foreclosure filings in October, which was a 95 percent increase from October of 2007. The state’s rate of one filing for every 631 households put it 17th among all states and Washington, D.C
Nationally home foreclosure rates dropped approximately 10% in January but then spiked again in February…approximately 6%. Hopefully the more we can educate distressed owners about their options, fewer foreclosures will take place….we need to stop this trend!
