CNBC - One in 371 U.S. households received a foreclosure notice in September. (Foreclosure notices are defined as a default notice, auction sale notice or bank repossession.) Bank repossessions, the final step in the foreclosure process after a home fails to sell at auction, reached a record high of 102,134. It was the first time that bank repossessions have surpassed the 100,000 mark since RealtyTrac began collecting data in 2005. The latest foreclosure moratoriums are not reflected in the data yet, said Rick Sharga, senior vice president of RealtyTrac. “They happened too late to have a material effect on September numbers,” he said. RealtyTrac expects to see a dip in bank repossessions in the coming months, and possibly in the early stages of the foreclosure process as well, and then a rise again as the halt is ended. "These loans will not escape foreclosure," said Sharga. "We’re just delaying the inevitable." Sharga said that a prolonged halt on foreclosures could affect the entire housing market and home prices. Foreclosures make up 30 percent of home sales, and taking those sales out of the equation “could knock the stilts out of the housing market,” he said.
