Foreclosures on residential and commercial properties continue to fall dramatically, according to figures from the Dakota County Community Development Agency.
Sheriff's sales for the first five months of this year totaled 302, the agency's foreclosure summary report said. That's down from 475 for the same period in 2013 and less than half the 710 through May 2012.
The report didn't break out how many of the foreclosures were homes and how many were commercial or industrial buildings.
