The decline in the number of sheriff's sales is a result of the process being delayed by banks working through foreclosure documentation problems that surfaced last fall and the ensuing log jam created in the courts. While the number of sheriff sales decline, the number of homes entering the foreclosure processing are increasing.  The backlog of bank owned properties is growing. This is not a good sign.
