The foreclosure rate in the United States has experienced significant fluctuations over the past two decades, reaching its peak in 2010 at 2.23 percent following the financial crisis. Since then, the rate has steadily declined, with a notable drop to 0.11 percent in 2021 due to government interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2024, the rate stood slightly higher at 0.23 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 4.6 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, 52 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.

In the second quarter of 2024, the share of mortgage loans in the foreclosure process in the U.S. decreased slightly to 0.43 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.

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.

Following the coronavirus pandemic outbreak in 2020, mortgage delinquency rates surged, followed by a gradual decline. Between the second quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2022, foreclosures remained at record low levels due to The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).

Prior to 12/12/2022, Owner and Owner Management Agent addresses could not be registered through the registration site so no City, State, or ZIP columns were present in this dataset. Because all previously existing records had Chicago addresses for Owner and Owner Agent, the City and State columns were populated when added to this dataset but ZIP values are only available from 12/12/2022 forward.

The Property Address is always in Chicago.
