Bankruptcy Filings Are Spiking! Team Thayer #RealEstate #housing #market #investor #news #oregon

For the second straight month, bankruptcy filings increased substantially over-the-month in March 2016, this time rising by 17.4 percent up to a total of 78,332 for the month, according to March 2016 AACER bankruptcy data reported by Epiq Systems on Thursday.

March’s over-the-month spike occurred one month after the number of filings rose by 24 percent from January to February. March 2016’s total of filings was 3,361 lower than March 2015’s total of 81,693.
Year-to-date, for the first three months of 2016, there have been 195,565 bankruptcy filings nationwide, a decline of about 5 percent from the total of 205,703 for the first three months of 2015. There were 231,839 filings for the first three months of 2014.
March 2016 did contain three more filings days than in February (23 compared to 20) but still would have had about 5,000 more filings than in February without those three extra days based on the average number of filings per day in March of 3,406. By comparison, there were 3,234 filings per day over 20 filing days in February and 2,766 filings per day over 19 filing days in January. So far in 2016, there have been 3,154 filings per day over 62 filing days in the first three months.
