Va. foreclosure filings slow in February | Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Foreclosure filings in Virginia in February rose 15 percent from the same month a year ago — the smallest year-to-year percentage increase in two years, indicating that the flood of foreclosures may be slowing, according to a RealtyTrac report released yesterday.

What’s more, the number of filings — which includes default notices, auction sale notices and bank repossessions — fell 10 percent from January to February, according to the online research firm.

Virginia has experienced mostly triple-digit percentage increases in foreclosure filings during past two years, except for August and December of last year, in which filings rose 39 percent and 84 percent respectively.
