Foreclosure activity in the Windy City remains high, but it’s fallen by a dramatic amount from 2012.

Foreclosure activity in the Chicagoland area was down a whopping 58 percent year-over-year in August according to the U.S. Foreclosure Market Report from RealtyTrac, though the metropolitan area still has the fourth most foreclosure activity in the nation.

News was similarly promising at the state level, where Illinois saw foreclosure starts fall by 66 percent; but again, with 1 in every 725 homes receiving a foreclosure filing in Illinois, the state has the eight-highest foreclosure rate in the U.S.
