On Thursday, RealtyTrac released its Year-End 2012 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report with Georgia finishing 2012 with the nation’s fourth-highest foreclosure rate.

Nationally last year, there were 2,304,941 foreclosure filings — default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions, which is down 3 percent from 2011 and 36 percent from 2010 when there were 2.9 million property foreclosure filings.

Florida had the highest state foreclosure rate last year with one in 32 (3.11 percent) housing units filing for foreclosure. Next were Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia with a foreclosure rate of one in 39 (2.6 percent). That figure is down 4.2 percent from the previous year and down 19 percent from 2010.

Georgia had 105,610 foreclosure filings in the most recent calendar year.

Also Thursday, CoreLogic reported that better than 40 percent of all residential properties with a mortgage in the metro area were in negative equity in the third quarter of last year.
