Foreclosure Activity Continues to Increase Annually

A total of 31,557 U.S. properties had foreclosure filing in January, up 2% from last month and 36% from a year ago, and the 21st consecutive monthly increase, according to a new report from ATTOM.

ATTOM’s U.S. Foreclosure Market Report for January found that lenders repossessed 3,896 properties through completed foreclosures (REOs), up 6% from last month but down 19% from last year–the first annual decrease in completed foreclosures since June 2021.

Key highlights:

  • States that had at least 100 or more REOs and that saw the greatest annual decreases in January 2023 included: Florida (-53%); Maryland (-23%); Michigan (-22%); New Jersey (-15%); and Texas (-14%).
  • Counter to the national trend, only 3 states with 100 or more REOs saw an annual increase, including: New York (+76%); Pennsylvania (+12%); and California (+4%).
  • Those major metro areas with a population greater than 200,000 that saw the greatest number of REOs included: Detroit, Michigan (783); Chicago, Illinois (206); New York, New York (149); Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (100); and Riverside, California (66).
  • Nationwide one in every 4,425 housing units had a foreclosure filing. States with the highest foreclosure rates were Delaware (one in every 2,109); Illinois (one in every 2,279); Michigan (one in every 2,617); New Jersey (one in every 2,858); and Maryland (one in every 2,967).
  • Among the 223 metro areas with a population of at least 200,000, those with the highest foreclosure rates were Fayetteville, North Carolina (one in every 1,322); Bakersfield, California (one in every 1,522); Cleveland, Ohio (one in every 1,557); Detroit, Michigan (one in every 1,575); and Laredo, Texas (one in every 1,953).
  • Other than Cleveland and Detroit, among the metro areas with a population greater than 1 million, those with the worst foreclosure rates were in Chicago (one in every 2,074); Riverside, California (one in every 2,123); and Las Vegas, Nevada (one in every 2,341).

Major takeaway:

ATTOM reported that lenders started the foreclosure process on 20,752 properties, down 1% from last month but up 75% from a year ago. The states that saw the greatest number of foreclosure starts were in California (2,513); Texas (2,136); Florida (1,725); New York (1,375); and Illinois (1,309). Additionally, among those major metropolitan statistical areas with a population of at least 200,000, those with the greatest number of foreclosure starts were in New York (1,370); Chicago (1,156); Los Angeles, California (774); Houston, Texas (629); and Philadelphia (612).

“The uptick in overall foreclosure filings nationwide points toward a trend that may suggest more increased activity is on the horizon as we enter the new year,” said ATTOM CEO Rob Barber.” While both completed foreclosures and foreclosure starts have stalled slightly over the past month, the annual increase in overall activity seen over the past 21 months may indicate a more substantial trend that could continue into 2023.”
