FORECLOSURE FILINGS FALLING
Foreclosure filings have sagged to an all-time low in the first six months of the year, according to ATTOM Data Solution's Midyear
2020 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report.
During that period, 65,530 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings, default notices, scheduled auctions, or bank repossessions
plummeted 44% from the same time period a year ago. Foreclosure filings were down 54% from the same period two years ago.
Among 220 metro areas analyzed in the report—including Stockton, California, which saw a spike of 161%; Chico, California
(61%); and McAllen, Texas (42%); Lake Havasu, Arizona (39%); and Fort Wayne, Indiana (21%)—10 deviated from the national trend
in light of an uptick in foreclosures contrasted to a year ago.
