New foreclosure filings in Colorado fell 15.7 percent in the second quarter from the same period of 2009, but foreclosures sales rose 17.7 percent, the state Division of Housing reported Thursday.

Officials attributed the rise in sales largely to moratoria on foreclosures a year ago that no longer are in effect.

It was the third consecutive quarter with a decline in Colorado filings -- the first step in the foreclosure process -- from the previous quarter, and the lowest quarterly filings tally in five quarters.

New filings -- the opening of the foreclosure process -- totaled 10,233 statewide in April, May and June, down from 12,135 in the second quarter of 2009, the report said. The latest filings total also was down from the first-quarter 2010 tally of 11,136 new filings.

The recent peak in filings came in last year's third quarter, when there were 12,468 filings.

Local experts tend to agree that recent trends show that although there most likely will be a dip in sales post-tax credit, that slow down is only temporary. 

For example, in a recent Greeley Tribune article, Sears Real Estate CEO Chalice Springfield was quoted as saying, “Last week, even though the tax credit had expired, our showings increased 20 percent over the previous week, and that means people are still out there looking, and those are just for our listings.”

It appears that buyers are still out there.  The tax credits helped to move the initial buyers in to making a final decision, but with that, they seemed to have ease some reservation felt by the next wave of buyers.
