Fewer homes repossessed by lenders in October

Here's the story from CNBC.

Fewer U.S. homes are completing the foreclosure process and ending up repossessed by banks because investors are increasingly buying up properties when they go on sale at public auction.
The trend reflects a growing appetite among investors for buying homes before they exit the foreclosure process and end up on the market.
Some 37,775 homes nationwide completed the foreclosure process in October, down 1 percent from the previous month and a decline of 29 percent versus October last year, foreclosure listing firm RealtyTrac. said Thursday.
