April 2009 Wisconsin New Foreclosure Filings Maintain Rate

New foreclosure filings in Wisconsin continue to be filed at a rate of roughly 120 per day. April was no exception with roughly 118 new foreclosure filings per business day.

Almost 2,540 new foreclosure filings were filed in Wisconsin during the month of April.

• 20% increase over April 2008
• 5% decrease from March 2009

The decrease from March to April is mainly due to April having a half day less business days. The per day filings were off by only 2% from the March, 2009 rate.

With 21.5 business days in April (half day for Good Friday), this continues the trend of roughly 120 new foreclosure filings each business day - a trend that has continued for the entire year.
