The foreclosure rate in the United States has experienced significant fluctuations over the past two decades, reaching its peak in 2010 at **** percent following the financial crisis. Since then, the rate has steadily declined, with a notable drop to **** percent in 2021 due to government interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2024, the rate stood slightly higher at **** percent but remained well below historical averages, indicating a relatively stable housing market. Impact of economic conditions on foreclosures The foreclosure rate is closely tied to broader economic trends and housing market conditions. During the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, the share of non-performing mortgage loans climbed significantly, with loans 90 to 180 days past due reaching *** percent. Since then, the share of seriously delinquent loans has dropped notably, demonstrating a substantial improvement in mortgage performance. Among other things, the improved mortgage performance has to do with changes in the mortgage approval process. Homebuyers are subject to much stricter lending standards, such as higher credit score requirements. These changes ensure that borrowers can meet their payment obligations and are at a lower risk of defaulting and losing their home. Challenges for potential homebuyers Despite the low foreclosure rates, potential homebuyers face significant challenges in the current market. Homebuyer sentiment worsened substantially in 2021 and remained low across all age groups through 2024, with the 45 to 64 age group expressing the most negative outlook. Factors contributing to this sentiment include high housing costs and various financial obligations. For instance, in 2023, ** percent of non-homeowners reported that student loan expenses hindered their ability to save for a down payment.

The number of properties with foreclosure filings in the United States declined in 2024, but remained below the pre-pandemic level. Foreclosure filings were reported on approximately 322,100 properties, which was about 34,900 fewer than in 2023. Despite the decrease, 2024 saw one of the lowest foreclosure rates on record.

What is Foreclosure?

Foreclosure is the legal process of taking possession of a mortgaged property when the borrower fails to keep up with mortgage payments. The foreclosure process varies from state to state, depending on whether the state has a judicial or nonjudicial process. Judicial process requires court action on a foreclosed property, where a nonjudicial process does not.

Foreclosure and Pre-Foreclosure Data Includes:

• 9 Different types of Judicial vs Non-Judicial
• Auctions
• Public Notices
• Lis Pendens
• Releases
• Defendant and Plaintiff Names
• Recording Dates, Published Dates, and Auction Dates
• Original Mortgage Information

This statistic shows the foreclosure filings in the United States as of June 2017, by state. South Dakota had the lowest rate with only *** in every 24,583 housing units being subject to foreclosure.

In the second quarter of 2024, the share of mortgage loans in the foreclosure process in the U.S. decreased slightly to **** percent. Following the outbreak of the coronavirus crisis, mortgage delinquency rates spiked to the highest levels since the Subprime mortgage crisis (2007-2010). To prevent further impact on homeowners, Congress passed the CARES Act that provides foreclosure protections for borrowers with federally backed mortgage loans. As a result, the foreclosure rate fell to historically low levels.

These data are part of NACJD's Fast Track Release and are distributed as they were received from the data depositor. The files have been zipped by NACJD for release, but not checked or processed except for the removal of direct identifiers. Users should refer to the accompanying readme file for a brief description of the files available with this collection and consult the investigator(s) if further information is needed. The study integrated neighborhood-level data on robbery and burglary gathered from local police agencies across the United States, foreclosure data from RealtyTrac (a real estate information company), and a wide variety of social, economic, and demographic control variables from multiple sources. Using census tracts to approximate neighborhoods, the study regressed 2009 neighborhood robbery and burglary rates on foreclosure rates measured for 2007-2008 (a period during which foreclosure spiked dramatically in the nation), while accounting for 2007 robbery and burglary rates and other control variables that captured differences in social, economic, and demographic context across American neighborhoods and cities for this period. The analysis was based on more than 7,200 census tracts in over 60 large cities spread across 29 states. Core research questions were addressed with a series of multivariate multilevel and single-level regression models that accounted for the skewed nature of neighborhood crime patterns and the well-documented spatial dependence of crime. The study contains one data file with 8,198 cases and 99 variables.

Users should refer to the accompany readme file for a brief description of the files available with this collections and consult the investigator(s) if further information is needed.The purpose of the study was to examine whether and how foreclosures affect neighborhood crime in five cities in the United States. Point-specific crime data was provide by the New York (New York) Police Department, the Chicago (Illinois) Police Department, the Miami (Florida) Police Department, the Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) Police Department, and the Atlanta (Georgia) Police Department. Researchers also created measures of violent and property crimes based on Uniform Crime Report (UCR) categories, and a measure of public order crime, which includes less serious offenses including loitering, prostitution, drug crimes, graffiti, and weapons offenses. Researchers obtained data on the number of foreclosure notices (Lis Pendens) filed, the number of Lis Pendens filed that do not become real estate owned (REO), and number of REO properties from court fillings, mortgage deeds and tax assessor's offices.

Abstract

The CoreLogic Pre-Foreclosure data documents over 35 million property transactions representing pre-foreclosure events. These transactions occurred in U.S. states (excluding Vermont), the U.S. Virgin Islands and Washington, D.C. CoreLogic has been collecting pre-foreclosure data since 2000.

Transaction events include Notice of Default, Lis Pendens, Release of Lis Pendens and Final Judgment. Transactions illustrate the pre-foreclosure events leading up to a foreclosure or sale at auction. Transaction data can include property address, default date, default amount, document type (Notice of Default, Lis Pendens, etc.), court filing details, attorney, beneficiary or plaintiff name, borrower name, lender, trustee, final judgment amount and any relevant auction information. Transactions also include a subject transaction, which identifies the original transaction (usually Deed of Trust or another prior activity) to which a transaction applies. Activities recorded and delivered support transactions within both judicial and non-judicial states.

The CoreLogic Smart Data Platform (SDP) Pre-Foreclosure data was formerly known as the CoreLogic Pre-Foreclosure data. The CoreLogic SDP Property data contains almost all of the variables that were included in the CoreLogic Pre-Foreclosure data.

Methodology

Pre-foreclosure data comes from four types of documents:

• Final Judgment of Foreclosure
• Lis Pendens
• Notices of Default
• Release of Lis Pendens

%3C!-- --%3E

These documents are sourced from U.S. County Assessor and Recorder offices, and newspapers. The data is collected, cleaned and normalized by CoreLogic. Data is bundled together in a pipe-delimited text file, which has been uploaded to Data Farm (Redivis) for preview, extraction and analysis.

This data includes filings related to mortgage foreclosure in Allegheny County. The foreclosure process enables a lender to take possession of a property due to an owner's failure to make mortgage payments. Mortgage foreclosure differs from tax foreclosure, which is a process enabling local governments to take possession of a property if the owner fails to pay property taxes.

As Pennsylvania is a judicial foreclosure state, a lender files for foreclosure through the court system. Foreclosure data in the court system is maintained by the Allegheny County Department of Court Records. Data included here is from the general docket, and a mortgage foreclosure docket created to help homeowners maintain ownership of their property following an initial filing. Several different types of legal filings may occur on a property involved in the foreclosure process. At this time, only the most recent filing in a case is included in the data found here, but we hope to add all filings for a case in the coming months.

After a property enters the foreclosure process, several potential outcomes are possible. Some of the more common outcomes include: borrowers may come to an agreement with the lender for unpaid debt; borrowers may sell the property to satisfy part or all of the debt; borrowers may voluntarily relinquish ownership to the lender; lenders may decide not to pursue the foreclosure any further; and the property may proceed all the way through a sheriff sale, where it is sold to a new owner.

Before September 2022, the data presented here included only the final filing for the month in which each case (represented by Case ID) is opened; since then the feed has changed so we now have a new last_activity field, which gets updated whenever there is a new filing in the case with the date of the last filing for the month. The last_activity value gives some indication of which cases are still ongoing. (However, the new feed does not include the docket_type field, so these are blank for cases started after August 2022.) To view the detailed mortgage foreclosure filings for each property represented in this dataset, please visit the Department of Court Records Website, and enter the Case ID for a property to pull-up detailed information about each foreclosure case, including parties, docket entries, and services.

CHANGELOG

2022-12-14: Loaded data back to September (which had been missing due to the schema migration). Added a new last_activity field. Data since September 2022 is missing the docket_type value, for now those new values will be set to '' (empty string).
