A recently released report from Corelogic shows that the number of Maryland homes entering foreclosure dropped 29 percent from last year. As reported in the Baltimore Business Journal:

Just 2.3 percent of all homes in Maryland are entering foreclosure, the report said. The number of completed foreclosures on homes is falling as well, dropping from 9,873 in September 2013 to 7,199 in September 2014, Corelogic found.

Nationally, 1.6 percent of homes on the market are foreclosed homes.
