Minnesota Housing Foreclosure Trends

Is there reason for optimism regarding Minnesota’s housing foreclosure situation? Numbers released by the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors show a 14 percent drop in the number of foreclosed homes and properties offered for short sales in the first quarter of 2009. Buyers appear to be increasingly motivated by lower interest rates and by new federal tax credits for first-time buyers. The publications below provide some perspective on housing foreclosure trends both locally and more broadly.

The Unraveling of the American Dream: Foreclosures in the Immigrant Community of Minneapolis cites analysis from the nonprofit organization HousingLink Minnesota. Not surprisingly, their research indicates that the epicenter of foreclosures in Minnesota lies in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, where two-thirds of the foreclosures in Minnesota occurred in 2008. Due to many converging factors, minority households are disproportionately represented among households experiencing foreclosure.

The National Governors Association Emerging Trends: State Actions to Tackle the Foreclosure Crisis report is an update to the September 2007 Issue Brief, State Strategies to Address Foreclosures. The current report examines the latest actions governors have taken to mitigate foreclosures, stabilize neighborhoods, and prevent future mortgage crises.

Presented in the State of Minnesota, Mortgage Foreclosure Data Study Group End Report are their final recommendations for the most efficient and cost-effective way to develop and put in place an electronic system for providing statewide public foreclosure data to interested parties. The report was prepared by the Minnesota Secretary of State’s Office.
