Foreclosure filings increased by 18% in April compared to the same time last year. Some areas experienced even sharper rises, with certain counties in the Bay Area and cities such as San Antonio and Austin seeing significant surges in foreclosure activity. The extent of the increase varied by location, with some reports indicating particularly high rates of foreclosure in states such as Delaware, South Carolina, and Florida, as well as in one unnamed state that reportedly saw a 42% increase.
