According to ATTOM Data’s August 2026 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, there were a total of 40,277 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings (default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions). This figure is up 1% from one month ago and up 13% from one year ago. Nationwide, one in every 3,569 housing units had a foreclosure filing in August with South Carolina posting the worst foreclosure rate (one filing for every 1,547 housing units) followed by Nevada (one in every 1,920); Florida (one in every 2,397); Texas (one in every 2,445); and Maryland (one in every 2,530).
“August’s data shows that foreclosure activity continues to trend above year-ago levels, particularly in completed foreclosures, which saw a notable annual increase…While some homeowners are still facing financial challenges, overall foreclosure volumes remain well below historical norms and the broader housing market continues to demonstrate resilience.” Said Rob Barber, CEO at ATTOM.
