RealtyTrac: Foreclosure Activity in December Lowest Since April 2007

Foreclosure data provider RealtyTrac has issued its Year-End 2012 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, showing foreclosure activity at its lowest level since April 2007 in December.  However, the foreclosure picture varies greatly from state to state, as exactly half of all states-- mostly those that require judicial foreclosure processes-- had more foreclosure activity in 2012 than 2011.
