To learn more about issues such as the one detailed below, check out the Connect Inland Empire conference on Sept. 10 at Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga.

Foreclosures are on the decline in the Inland Empire. RealtyTrac sees the area as the second-most region in the country that has posted year-on-year drops in foreclosures during the first six months of 2015.

This is a major drop from what we had seen during the recession, when the area was one of the most significant parts of the nation to post these kind of figures.

There was a 16.4 percent drop in San Bernardino County and a 13.8 percent dip in Riverside County as well.
