According to ATTOM Data’s Q2 2025 Vacant Property and Zombie Foreclosure Report, there were nearly 1.4 million residential properties (1,382,480) in the U.S. sitting vacant in Q2, 2025. That figure represents 1.3% of all homes across the nation – roughly the same as Q1. ATTOM also says there were 222,358 residential properties in the process of foreclosure in Q2 2025, up 4.8% from the Q1 2025 and down 6.3% fyear-over-year. In addition, they report there were around 7,329 of those pre-foreclosure properties, 3.3%, were “zombie” properties, meaning they had been abandoned by their owners and sat vacant during the foreclosure process. That figure is up slightly from the same period last year.
“So far, buyers seem to be scooping up these repossessed homes relatively quickly, so they aren’t sitting empty…Nobody wants to see a return to the days of the 2008 housing crisis when vacant, blighted homes were common in many parts of the country.” Said Rob Barber, CEO for ATTOM.
