Record Number of Foreclosed Homes Seized by Banks in May

A record number of Americans lost their homes to foreclosure in May. Almost 94,000 homes were seized by lenders as banks continue to work through a massive backlog of distressed properties.

Although foreclosures are at the highest levels on record, there is some evidence that the foreclosure crisis may be starting to ebb, as fewer and fewer homes enter the foreclosure process. This could be because banks are allowing delinquent owners to stay in their homes longer while modifications and payment plans are devised. Another possibility is that the banks simply have too many foreclosed properties to work through, and there is a backlog of work to be done.
