Oregon’s home foreclosure numbers continued to drop last month.  That’s according to Eugene-based Gorilla Capital.

Ally Leavitt is the company’s communications manager.  She says in the 18 counties Gorilla surveys, notices of default declined by 17 percent compared with October.

“They’re starting to steady out finally.  Looks like they peaked in about 2010, and they’re just slowly going down,” Leavitt said.

Leavitt says year-over-year, notices of default declined nearly 30 percent. 

The company’s data show only one county where the default notices actually went up.  Curry County recorded an 11 percent increase.
