Home foreclosures are soaring nationwide – and rising fastest in these 5 states

US home foreclosures see nationwide upswing

Home foreclosures rose again in February as Americans continue to grapple with the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.

That is according to a new report published by real estate data provider ATTOM, which found that there were 32,938 properties in February with foreclosure filings, which includes default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions. That marks an 8% increase from the prior year, although it is down 1% from the previous month.

"The annual uptick in U.S. foreclosure activity hints at shifting dynamics within the housing market," said ATTOM CEO Rob Barber. "These trends could signify evolving financial landscapes for homeowners, prompting adjustments in market strategies and lending practices."

I thought so! On the other hand.....it's given us the incentive to complete the construction of the 5 br, 2-1/2 bath house we've got about half finished. We'd just rent it out.
Being waterfront, you could make a killing.

Thought about that....but that market has cooled a LOT around us. We're surrounded (literally) by AirBnBs; one a couple houses up has been converted to longer-term rental, they are trying to get long term rent for another on our north side and the one on south side of us goes largely vacant (yet was booked solid during the COVID times).

I didn't realize how many were around here.
