Foreclosure filings in the Orlando area fell by 24 percent from May to June, with Orange and Osceola counties recording the biggest declines, according to the latest report by a national tracking firm.
Florida overall remained one of the most foreclosure-wracked states in the country last month, trailing only Nevada and Arizona, according to Realtytrac Inc., the California-based research company.
"Things are moving," said Altamonte Springs lawyer Matt Englett, who specializes in foreclosure cases. "The lenders are getting their acts together. They're a lot better than they were a year ago. The judiciary in the whole state now understands how foreclosures should be treated.
"In four-county Metro Orlando, one in every 132 households faced some type of foreclosure-related legal action in June, Realtytrac said. That compares with one of every 75 homes in the hard-hit Fort Myers area and one of every 424 homes in Gainesville, home of the University of Florida. complete story
