Like the rest of New England, 3.8 percent of Vermont's home mortgages were in foreclosure as of December 31, 2011, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association National Delinquency Survey.
The portion of Vermont mortages in foreclosure rose fairly dramatically compared to prior months. Between September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011, this rate increased more in Vermont than in any other state.
