New foreclosure cases down 53 percent in South Florida

New foreclosure cases fell sharply across South Florida in November, though the number of homes repossessed by banks increased as courts clear dockets of bad mortgages originated during the housing bust.

Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties totaled 831 foreclosure filings last month, a 53 percent drop from November 2014, according to the RealtyTrac listing firm. It was the fewest number of starts for the tri-county region since RealtyTrac began counting in January 2006.

In 2012, with home prices rebounding from the bottom, buying beat renting in Broward by 56 percent.
