There has been a great deal of media attention to foreclosures throughout the country and the state. Mortgage foreclosure rates have increased, but St. Louis County is not experiencing the number of vacant and damaged properties that is problematic in other areas. It appears that many of the foreclosures are directly related to the high number of refinanced mortgages which occurred over the past several years.Duluth Alt-A Mortgages
