ATTOM says, nationwide, one in every 3,388 housing units had a foreclosure filing in April. States with the worst foreclosure rates were Delaware (one in every 1,739 housing units with a foreclosure filing), South Carolina followed closely behind (one in every 1,745), followed by Florida (one in every 2,092), Indiana (one in every 2,129), and Illinois (one in every 2,262). In addition, they point out that Florida, Texas, and California led nation in foreclosure starts.
“Foreclosure activity continued its gradual trend higher in April, with both foreclosure starts and completed foreclosures posting annual gains,…While overall filings declined from the previous month, the year-over-year increases suggest lenders may be working through distressed inventory as higher borrowing costs and affordability challenges impact some homeowners. Even so, foreclosure activity remains significantly below pre-pandemic levels.” Said Rob Barber, CEO for ATTOM.
