Foreclosure filings, which include default notices, scheduled auctions, and bank repossessions, inched upward nationwide in Q3 despite dropping to their lowest level in eight years, according to RealtyTrac's Q3 2014 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report released on Thursday.

According to RealtyTrac's 2014 Election Housing Market Scorecard released on Tuesday, 33 out of 35 counties in Colorado with sufficient housing data to score ranked in the "better off" category, meaning that the housing market in those counties is better off than it was two years ago.

A total of 811 U.S. county housing markets (52 percent) were rated as "better off" than they were two years ago, compared to only 11 percent (176 markets) categorized as "worse off," according to RealtyTrac's 2014 Election Housing Scorecard released on Tuesday.

Minneapolis, Minnesota, has been the top college town for home flipping so far in 2014, according to data released by RealtyTrac earlier this week.

Despite seeing a decline in average gross ROI and average gross profit on flipped homes, California still ranked fourth among the 50 states and District of Columbia in flipped homes as a percentage of total sales in Q2, according to RealtyTrac.

RealtyTrac named 16 U.S. counties as high-risk, high-yield hot spots for single-family rental investing in its Q3 2014 Residential Property Rental Report released on Thursday.

Eight states reported a median sales price for distressed homes at less than half the sales price of non-distressed homes in August, according to a report recently released by RealtyTrac.

The August median price of U.S. distressed homes climbed both monthly and annually, according to RealtyTrac's August 2014 U.S. Residential and Foreclosure Sales Report released on Sept. 25.

The number of residential properties repossessed by lenders by way of foreclosure in August declined on a year-over-year basis for the 21st consecutive month, according to RealtyTrac's monthly U.S. Foreclosure Market Report for August 2014 released September 11.
