The number of U.S. properties subject to foreclosure filings — notices of default, scheduled auctions, or bank repossessions — fell on an annual basis for the 35th straight month in August, to 128,560, according to a report released today from foreclosure data aggregator RealtyTrac.

That’s a 34 percent year-over-year decrease, driven largely by a 44 percent drop in foreclosure starts, which fell to 55,775 — their lowest level since December 2005.
