Foreclosure filings at 3-year low 
Robo-signing impacts seen as factor in 27% annual decline
By Inman News, Thursday, March 10, 2011.Foreclosure-related filings against U.S. homes fell 14 percent from January to February and were down 27 percent from a year ago -- the biggest year-over-year drop recorded by data aggregator RealtyTrac since it began issuing reports in 2005.
RealtyTrac said 225,101 homes were subjected to a default notice, auction notice or bank repossession in February -- a three-year low that the company attributed to continued fallout from the robo-signing controversy.
