Knoxville Foreclosure Watch: February 18, 2009

Happy Hump Day, Watchers! In this edition of Foreclosure Watch,  active listings finally broke their encouraging downward trend, proving yet again that all good things must come to an end. Pending listings were down as well, but closed listings were actually up. Yay, closed listings!

There were 21 new listings last week with the most in one zip code being – of course – in 37917, which had 4. That little zip is still in the lead with most new foreclosure listings this year with a grand total of 28. The only other zips with more than one new listing were 37914, 37915, 37918, 37921 and 37923.

We had 10 closed foreclosure listings last week and 37917 and 37921 are still tied for most closed foreclosure listings in 2009 with 8 each.

Now for the breakdown -
