For the last 13 consecutive months, home posting activity in Denton County has exceeded 500 foreclosure notices per month. In six of those months, monthly posting activity surged even higher, reaching above 600.
Then, last October, Denton County home postings reached a new record high with 710 foreclosure notices filed.

Over the past year, home postings filed for the first four foreclosure auctions of the year have increased 24% compared to the 2,047 postings filed for the same period one year earlier.
Roddy added that over the past ten years, year-to-date home postings in Denton County have climbed 801% from the same period of time in 2000, when only 281 postings were filed on Denton County residences.
Overall, North Texas foreclosures have soared to a new record monthly high.
