Foreclosure activity decreased significantly across the state, signalling the end of the foreclosure crisis, according to Banker & Tradesman.

Newton's home and condo sales through March 2013 have been down slightly from the same period in 2012, but the good news is that foreclosure numbers through the same month in 2013 have dropped dramatically. New numbers released by the Warren Group show an 82 percent decrease across the state in petitions to foreclose as compared to the numbers for March 2012.
