Illinois Foreclosure News

More bad news emerged on the Illinois foreclosure front today. The number of homeowners slapped with bank repossessions, foreclosure, default or auction sale notices came to 12,681 in October -- a 24 percent increase from September and a 31 percent increase over the same month last year.

Some 6,885 homes received foreclosure notices in Cook County, representing one in every 313 homes. In Will County, the number was 990 homes, or 1 in every 226 homes. In DuPage County, the number was 807 homes, or one in every 441, and in Lake County it was 815 homes, or one in every 307 homes.
