All Metro Areas, March 2013 When compared to ALL metros in the nation, metro Atlanta falls in the middle range of serious delinquent rates. As the map below shows, the housing markets in several metro areas in Florida still are struggling with high delinquency rates and high foreclosure rates. But to foreclose in Florida requires court action, which could take a couple of years. In Georgia a bank can foreclose on a property without legal action, which speeds up the entire process.

10-County Region: Foreclosure Filings,
2000 - Current
In looking back even further – back to 2000 – we see that with the recent declines, foreclosure filings are back to pre-recession levels. But they are still higher than they were in the early 2000s. Please note that these are for the 10-county region, as we don’t have the data going back to 2000 for all 20 counties.

20-County Region: Declining Foreclosure Filings,
2010 - 2012
Although the housing market decline began along with the Great Recession in 2007, foreclosure filings kept increasing every year through 2010. Since then, however, every county in the region has seen dramatic declines in the number of foreclosure filings.

Foreclosure Filings (per sq. mile), 2012
This map looks at small-area foreclosure trends. It annualizes the 2013 data to allows comparisons to 2012 (since we don’t have all of 2013 data yet). The areas in blue represent greatest declines in the region. These areas are well below 2012 levels AND are below the regional median for 2013. The light blue areas represent declines from 2012, but are slightly above the 2013 average. The pinks and reds – which there are very little of – are areas where foreclosures are on par with or exceeding last year’s levels – in other words, these areas aren’t improving like the “blue” areas. Fortunately, the pink and red areas are few and relatively scattered throughout the region, with no one area having a heavy concentration.
