“Rob Barber, CEO of ATTOM, noted that the rise in foreclosure filings may partially reflect a post-holiday catch-up in processing, making it too early to determine whether this signals a shift in foreclosure trends for 2025. He emphasized the importance of monitoring economic factors such as interest rates, inflation, and employment trends, which could influence foreclosure activity in the coming months.”
