What is the current Foreclosure Filings reading?
Foreclosure Filings YoY Change: 15% as of 2026-Q2. Source: ATTOM Data Solutions.
Foreclosure filings changed 15% year over year in Q2 2026, according to ATTOM Data Solutions.
This series reports the year-over-year change in filings, not the filing count. ATTOM Data Solutions puts that change at 15% for Q2 2026. Movement in this rate is acceleration or deceleration against the same quarter a year earlier; it does not establish that the underlying number of filings rose or fell from the quarter before.
Foreclosure filings, mortgage delinquencies, and completed foreclosures are separate measures. The FHA Signal reports delinquency rates, while this indicator reports properties receiving a default notice, scheduled auction, or bank repossession. Neither series by itself establishes how many cases will become completed foreclosures or future housing inventory.
Bankruptcy Filings report a separate legal filing count, while the Chapter 7-to-Chapter 13 filing ratio describes the composition of those cases. Neither measure establishes a household's motive, repayment capacity, or reason for using one bankruptcy chapter.
