U.S. foreclosure rates fell for the third straight month according to RealtyTrac's new report. New foreclosure fillings in June dropped 2.81 percent from the previous month and 6.98 percent from the previous year.
While foreclosure rates are falling, they are still at high levels with 16 straight months of readings of over 300,000. Still 410 out of every 411 homes are not in foreclosure, so there is still some strength in the housing market.

Thanks for the info. I think that our housing market is stranger than most believe. Buying a home is an investment, but it take years to pay off. The advantage is that we get to live in it. I think that one thing that has helped put us in the situation we are in is that people began to see their homes as a short tern ATM. A home still pays out better than nearly every other investment, it just takes some time. Woody
