At the end of 2011, only 1.4 percent of Dallas-area homes were in foreclosure, compared to 3.4 percent nationwide, researchers at CoreLogic said Wednesday.
Among big cities, CoreLogic said the highest foreclosure rates at the end 2011 was in Orlando with 12.2 percent. Tampa was second at 12.1 percent.
Dallas was tied with Seattle as the lowest foreclosure rate cities among the 25 major markets CoreLogic detailed.
Denver, with 1.5 percent, and Houston, with 1.6 percent, also fared well in the foreclosure rate comparison.
Total U.S. home foreclosures last year totaled 830,000 units – down from 1.1 million in 2010.
"The inventory of foreclosed properties has begun to shrink, and the pace at which properties are entering foreclosure is slowing," Mark Fleming, chief economist with CoreLogic, said in the report.
Dallas-Fort Worth area home foreclosure filings dropped by more than 10 percent in 2011 to the lowest level in three years. Foreclosure filings in the D-FW area have been down from a year ago in each of the last 12 months.
And home foreclosure filings were down 16 percent from a year ago in this month's auctions in the D-FW area.
CoreLogic said the Dallas area also has one of the lowest home loan delinquency rates among the 25 major U.S. markets it tracks.
In December, 5.1 percent of Dallas homeowners with a loan were 90 days or more late with a payment. That compares with 7.3 percent nationwide.
Only Minneapolis, St. Louis and Denver had lower late loan rates than Dallas at the end of the year.
