California-based RealtyTrac has released its January numbers for foreclosure properties and Tennessee looks, relatively speaking, fairly healthy.

The state recorded 1,542 foreclosure filings in January, down 26.8 percent from the January 2012 figure. On a somewhat sour note, the month saw 814 foreclosure starts, up 32.4 percent from January of the previous year. However, Tennessee had 728 foreclosure completions this past January, down 51 percent from the January 2012 total.

For January and nationwide, foreclosure filings — default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions — were reported on 150,864 U.S. properties, a decrease of 7 percent from the previous month and down 28 percent from the January 2012 mark. The report also shows one in every 869 U.S. housing units with a foreclosure filing during the month.
