96 The Big Finish CITIES VULNERABLE TO FORECLOSURES Foreclosure filings in November decreased by 14% from the previous month, according to ATTOM Data Solutions' November 2020 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report. It showed a total of 10,042 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings— default notices, scheduled auctions, or bank repossessions. e number is down 80% from a year ago.
