You can refinance IF the value of your home is high enough. Since many places are still upside down, you can not refinance. Buying a new place, a foreclosed home, then you get the artificial low rates in place.
My conclusion is the foreclosure problem is stalled out a bit, and very much still with us. Now the graph I post I have seen lots of places, but I do not know if it is accurate.
