A new report from ATTOM shows 118,727 properties with foreclosure filings in Q1 2026 — a 26% year-over-year jump. March alone saw 45,921 filings, up 28% from a year ago.

What's striking is that the culprits aren't just high mortgage rates. Insurance premiums are up nearly 70% over five years (averaging $2,370/year now), property taxes keep climbing, and HOA fees are piling on — all costs that compound on top of the mortgage.

Worst hit: Indiana, South Carolina, and Florida. Florida in particular is getting squeezed from every direction — insurance, taxes, and HOA fees are crushing people regardless of what their mortgage rate is.

The other alarming stat: foreclosures are being processed faster — average timeline dropped to 577 days, down 14% YoY. That means distressed properties are hitting the market quicker, with less time for servicers to step in.

For context, foreclosure filings are at 0.26% of housing units — far from the 2.23% peak in 2010. But the trend is moving fast in the wrong direction.
