“October’s drop was the largest year-over-year decline we’ve seen in the seven-year history of the report,´ said Ryan McMaken, an economist for the Colorado Division of Housing, in a statement. “Foreclosure activity is quickly moving toward what we consider to be a normal rate.”

Foreclosure auction sales figures represent the number of foreclosures that have been sold at auction at the end of the foreclosure process. Foreclosure filings are the initial paperwork that begins the foreclosure process.
