Facing Scrutiny, Banks Slow Foreclosures Federal and state investigations into the way banks foreclose on delinquent homeowners have contributed to a sharp slowdown in foreclosures across the country, especially in hard-hit cities like Phoenix, David Streitfeld reports in The New York Times (see nytimes.com ). Over the last several months, some banks have been reluctant to seize homes from distressed borrowers, economists and government officials say, as they face scrutiny from regulators and the prospect of sanctions when investigations wrap up in the coming weeks and months. The Obama administration, in its most recent housing report, said foreclosure activity fell 21 percent in November from October, the biggest monthly decline in five years.
