Augusta foreclosures up in January

 

Foreclosure filings for the Augusta metro area jumped in January, mirroring the trend in Georgia.

Nationally, banks took back more U.S. homes in January than in the previous month, the latest sign that foreclosures are accelerating after slowing sharply last year while lenders sorted out foreclosure-abuse claims.

For the six-county Augusta area, there were 396 foreclosure filings in January, up from 300 in December and up from 317 in January 2011, according to foreclosure listing firm RealtyTrac Inc.
