“The increased level of foreclosure activity in January wasn’t a surprise,” said Rick Sharga, executive vice president of RealtyTrac. “Foreclosures typically slow down during the holidays in November and December and picks back up after the first of the year. This year, the increases were probably a little more dramatic than usual since foreclosure restrictions placed on mortgage servicers by the CFPB expired at the end of December.”
Foreclosure Completions Rising
Lenders completed +57% more foreclosure repossessions (REOs) in January than they did in December and +235% more repossessions than they did January 2021. This last January was the 7th straight month with an annual increase in foreclosure completions.
States & Metros with Greatest Monthly Increases in Foreclosure Completions
States having at least 100+ REOs and experiencing the greatest increase in REOs during January 2022 included:
– Michigan – +622%
– Georgia – +163%
– Texas – +98%
– Tennessee – +50%
– Alabama – +44%
Metros with populations of 200,000 and above that experienced the largest number of REOs included:
– Detroit – 1,013 REOs
– Chicago – 210 REOs
– New York City – 1229 REOs

– Philadelphia – 107 REOs
ReaaltyTrac’s Sharga said, “It’s very important to keep these numbers in context. Foreclosure completions are still far below normal levels – less than half as in January 2020…and about -60% lower than the number of foreclosure completions in 2019. We’re likely to continue seeing large y/y percentage increases for the rest of this year, but it’s also likely that foreclosure activity will remain below historically normal levels until the end of 2022.”
