2010 Recording Statistics

Here are the recording statistics for 2010 compared to 2009:

Deeds: For 2010 there were 5390 deeds vs 5434 for 2009, a 1% decline

Mortgages: For 2010, there were 13,675 mortgages v 14,519 for 2009; a 6% decline

Foreclosure Deeds: For 2010, there were 585 foreclosure deeds v. 400 for 2009, a 46% increase

Orders of Notice: For 2010, there were 1143 orders of notice v 834 for 2009, a 37% increase.

While these figures make 2010 look pretty bleak, it was the beginning of the year that was troublesome. Since October, the numbers have been mostly positive, something I'll write about later this week.
