Lowell Deeds

There seem to be a flurry of stories in the media about rising foreclosure rates. The Globe had one today. We’ve typically report our foreclosure stats at the end of each month, but with the current upsurge in attention, today I created a chart that shows the number of orders of notice (aka “foreclosure filings”) and foreclosure deeds recorded for the Middlesex North district on a monthly basis beginning in January 2006. The chart may be viewed here.
