According to ATTOM’s Mid-Year 2025 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, there were a total of 187,659 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings (default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions) in the first six months of 2025. That figure is up 5.8% from one year ago and up 1.1% from the same time period two years ago. States with the greatest increases in foreclosure activity included Alaska (up 55%); Rhode Island (up 51%); Wyoming (up 46%); Utah (up 46%); and Colorado (up 41%).


“Foreclosure activity continued its upward trend in the first half of 2025, with increases in both starts and completed foreclosures compared to last year…While the overall numbers remain below pre-pandemic levels, the persistent rise suggests that some homeowners are still facing financial challenges amid today’s housing and economic landscape” Said Rob Barber, CEO of ATTOM.
