There were 4,935 foreclosures statewide in the third quarter, making it four straight quarters Minnesota of totals less than 6,000. Foreclosures in the Twin Cities metro area plunged 35.6% from a year ago, a greater drop than the 25.6% decline in the rest of the state. Still, Hennepin and Ramsey counties, which contain Minneapolis and St. Paul, had the most foreclosures in the state at 1,149 and 467 respectively.
