Home prices in September posted their biggest yearly gain in more than 6 years, but prices displayed a typical seasonal slowdown and fell month-over-month, according to the Home Price Index (HPI) report from CoreLogic. When including distressed sales, the report showed home prices moved higher by 5 percent from September 2011, the seventh straight month of yearly increases and the biggest annual gain since July 2006.

Completed foreclosures continued their descent into September, falling 31 percent from a year ago, according to data from CoreLogic. The analytics company reported the number of homes lost to foreclosure in September dropped to 57,000. The decline is a steep drop from 83,000 in September 2011, and a decrease from the upwardly revised 59,000 in August. Before the housing crises, completed foreclosures were much lower than the sinking figures reported recently. Between 2000 and 2006, completed foreclosures averaged 21,000 per month.

Data from CoreLogic shows the nearly 284,000 properties at risk represent almost $88 billion. Based on early projections of Sandy's path, eight major metro areas in the Mid-Atlantic region--including New York, Philadelphia, and Boston--are at risk.

The shadow inventory that previously darkened industry outlook is beginning to fade. In fact, we may soon begin to see the sunlight on the horizon. In July shadow inventory - unlisted homes that are seriously delinquent, in foreclosure, or held as REOs - declined 10.2 percent year-over-year, falling to 2.3 million homes, according to CoreLogic's Shadow Inventory Report released Tuesday. Seriously delinquent homes – those 90 or more days delinquent – are the most common type of home in today's shadow inventory, making up 1 million of the 2.3 million-home total.

Completed foreclosures continued their progressive decline, and foreclosure inventory fell to its lowest level since April 2010, CoreLogic reported Thursday.

Prices including distressed sales are expected to rise by 5 percent yearly and 0.3 percent monthly.
