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.

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.

In the second quarter of 2025, the share of mortgage loans in the foreclosure process in the U.S. decreased slightly to **** percent. Following the outbreak of the coronavirus crisis, the mortgage delinquency rate spiked to the highest levels since the subprime mortgage crisis (2007-2010). To prevent further impact on homeowners, Congress passed the CARES Act, which 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.

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

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.

Abstract

Title: Cotality Smart Data Platform (SDP): Pre-Foreclosure

The Cotality 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. Cotality 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.

Formerly known as CoreLogic Smart Data Platform: Pre-Foreclosure.

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 Cotality. Data is bundled together in a pipe-delimited text file, which has been uploaded to Data Farm (Redivis) for preview, extraction and analysis.
