ATTOM reported that total U.S. foreclosure filings (including default notices, scheduled auctions, and bank repossessions) increased by 28% year-over-year (y-o-y) to 45,921 properties in March 2026. Lenders started the foreclosure process on 30,334 properties during the month, an increase of 21% y-o-y. While notable, ATTOM suggests that the increases represent a normalization from pandemic-era lows rather than broader contagion, with strong homeowner equity, tight underwriting, and persistent demand limiting widespread foreclosure pressure.
