The good news, according to real estate research firm RelatyTrac, is that foreclosure proceedings dropped 3% in 2015 to their lowest level since 2006.
Additionally, foreclosure starts were at a 10-year low.
The bad news is that foreclosures increased for 24 states and bank repossessions increased dramatically.
Based on RealtyTrac's data, we've compiled a list of the top 9 states for foreclosure activity. To qualify, states had to have more than 1% of homes in foreclosure.
