Foreclosure Starts Unchanged m/m in April – A Trend?
Lenders began the foreclosure process on 22,286 properties in the US in April 2022, essentially flat m/m but up +251% y/y.
“The extreme difference between foreclosure starts and foreclosure completions in April might be the beginning of a trend,” said Rick Sharga, executive Vice President of market intelligence for ATTOM. “Record levels of homeowner equity should provide financially distressed homeowners the opportunity to sell their homes prior to a foreclosure auction, meaning we should continue to see fewer foreclosure completions. While it may take several months to determine if this is actually what’s happening, it seems like a real possibility in today’s low supply/high demand housing market.”
There were, however, some states and metros that bucked the flatness of foreclosure starts.
