Lowell Deeds

The April 2007 recording statistics are in. While the plunge seems to have eased, we still haven’t turned the corner. Here’s a comparison of major categories for April 2007 compared to April 2006:

Total documents: 2007 - 6088 / 2006 - 5569
Deeds: 2007 - 541 / 2006 - 555
Mortgages: 2007 - 1459 / 2006 - 1546
Foreclosure Deeds: 2007 - 29 / 2006 - 8
Orders of Notice: 2007 - 113 / 2006 - 58

Here’s a comparison of April 2007 and March 2007:

Total docs: April - 6088 / March - 6309
Deeds: April - 541 / March - 584
Mortgages: April - 1459 / March - 1518
Foreclosure Deeds: April - 29 / March 32
Orders of Notice: April - 113 / March 132

Perhaps the best sign is in the slide in the number of foreclosure related documents recorded in April compared to the number recorded in March. Other than that, everything looks kind of static or still slipping slightly.
