Foreclosure deed filings are down in Rhode Island for the third quarter of 2014, according to a report published by HousingWorks RI at Roger Williams University on Thursday. In all, 364 foreclosure deeds were filed in Rhode Island in Q3, down from the 382 filed in Q2 2014, a decline of 5 percent, according to HousingWorks RI. Year-to-date through the end of Q3 2014, however, residential foreclosure deed filings ticked up by 2 percent in the Ocean State from the same period in 2013 from 1,170 to 1,193.

Rhode Island may be the smallest state in the country, but its foreclosure rate is keeping pace with the big guys. According to a special report issued by HousingWorks RI, a nonprofit coalition of nearly 140 local organizations, through the fourth quarter of 2010 Rhode Island continued to rank highest in New England in both foreclosure starts and serious delinquencies. Roughly one in every 10 mortgaged homeowners in the state has been affected by the foreclosure crisis over the last two years.
