The data was released as part of ATTOM’s U.S. Foreclosure Market Report for the third quarter.

The report further found there were a total of 31,836 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings in September 2022, down 8Q% from the previous month but up 62% from September 2021.

In his analysis of the data, Brian Turner, president and chief economist with Meridian Economics, observed, “Lenders started the foreclosure process on 67,249 U.S. properties in Q3 2022, up 1% from the previous quarter and up 167% from a year ago — nearly reaching pre-pandemic levels. Foreclosure activity is reflecting other aspects of the economy, as unemployment rates continue to be historically low, and mortgage delinquency rates are lower than they were before the COVID-19 outbreak.”

Turner said the data show the states that posted the greatest number of foreclosure starts in Q3 2022 include California (7,368 foreclosure starts), Florida (6,671 foreclosure starts), Texas (6,217 foreclosure starts), Illinois (4,702 foreclosure starts), and New York (3,997 foreclosure starts).

Cities With Most Disclosures

The data further show that among the 223 metropolitan statistical areas analyzed in the report, those that posted the greatest number of foreclosure starts in Q3 2022, include New York City (4,621 foreclosure starts), Chicago (3,950 foreclosure starts), Los Angeles (2,275 foreclosure starts), Philadelphia (1,991 foreclosure starts), and Miami (1,990 foreclosure starts).

Turner said the ATTOM analysis also reveal bank repossessions increased nationwide, with lenders repossessing 10,515 U.S. properties through foreclosure (REO) in Q3 2022, up 18% from the previous quarter and up 39% from a year ago.

“But very few of the properties entering the foreclosure process have reverted to the lender at the end of the foreclosure,” Turner wrote. “In fact, nearly three times more homes were repossessed by lenders in the second quarter of 2019 than in the second quarter of 2022. We believe that this may be an indication that borrowers are leveraging their equity and selling their homes rather than risking the loss of their equity in a foreclosure auction.”

Additional Data Points

Other data points in the ATTOM report:

  • Properties foreclosed in Q3 2022 had been in the foreclosure process an average of 885 days, down from 948 days in the previous quarter and down 4% from 924 days in Q3 2021.
  • States with the longest average foreclosure timelines for homes foreclosed in Q3 2022 were Hawaii (2,121 days), New Jersey (2,002 days), Louisiana (1,963 days), Kansas (1,848 days,  and New York (1,808 days).
  • States with the shortest average foreclosure timelines for homes foreclosed in Q3 2022 were Minnesota (113 days), Mississippi (167 days), Texas (168 days), Nebraska (168 days), and Missouri (172 days).

Sunday Reaing - Can the seasons really make you depressed?

    Can the seasons really make you depressed? Seasonal affective disorder   is a form of depression that repeats during predictable seasonal shifts, impacting an estimated 5% of the global population—predominantly women. Symptoms of the condition occur with significant cyclical changes in daylight hours, with prevalence increasing in regions north of 40 degrees latitude (less commonly in the Southern Hemisphere). Its etiology—or root cause—remains unclear to researchers. Though “winter blues” are commonly reported, SAD is a distinct, diagnosed subtype of major depressive disorder first formally described in 1984 ( see criteria ). Key symptoms—lasting roughly four months each year—resemble common depression: fatigue, increased sleep, carbohydrate cravi...

NCUA Issues 2026 Supervisory Priorities Letter to Credit Unions

Alexandria, VA (January 14, 2026)  ― The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) today announced its 2026 Supervisory Priorities, which continue the agency’s policy of “No Regulation by Enforcement,” while prioritizing safety and soundness. This policy underscores NCUA’s commitment to providing clarity and transparency in its oversight. The letter outlines NCUA’s priorities for the year and provides information to help credit unions prepare for examinations. This year, the agency will continue to focus on risk-based supervision, tailoring the examination scope to the credit union’s unique risk profile. Key Highlights of the 2026 Supervisory Priorities: Risk-Focused Examinations:  Examiners will concentrate on areas posing the greatest risk to credit union members, the credit union system, and the Share Insurance Fund. Balance Sheet Management and Lending:  With loan performance at its weakest point in over a decade, examiners will review credit risk management practic...

A 10% Cap, A Busy Congress, And Big Stakes For Credit Unions This Week

WASHINGTON—Credit union trade groups entered the week in Washington closely monitoring developments after President Trump’s proposal for a nationwide 10% cap on credit card interest rates, even as Congress returns to work on funding, financial services reform, and digital asset legislation. Both the Defense Credit Union Council and America’s Credit Unions say the rate-cap proposal poses an immediate threat to consumers credit unions disproportionately serve, while a fast-moving legislative agenda could shape the industry’s operating landscape for years. DCUC President and CEO Anthony Hernandez said the defense-focused trade group mobilized within hours of the President’s announcement, warning the cap could sharply limit access to credit for junior enlisted servicemembers, young officers with student loan debt, and federal workers already strained by a potential shutdown. Anthony Hernandez Hernandez said DCUC began responding within hours, providing comments to the press Friday night an...

What Could Tokenized Deposits Mean for CUs?

WASHINGTON—Noting that the FDIC has expressed support for tokenized deposits as insured bank liabilities, not experimental digital assets, a new analysis offers some insights into what that could mean for financial institutions, credit unions and the market in 2026 and beyond.  As PYMNTS Intelligence pointed out in its report, regulatory clarity reduces risk for banks moving from pilots to live deployments, and large banks and infrastructure providers are already testing real-world tokenized deposit use cases.  “At its simplest, tokenization converts an existing claim into a digital representation on a distributed ledger,” the report explained. “The underlying asset does not change, but the infrastructure that tracks ownership and settlement does. In banking, that distinction is critical. Tokenized deposits do not create new money. They represent traditional bank deposits, issued and redeemed by regulated institutions but designed to operate on modern, programma...

Are Credit Unions Serving First Responders Ready for the Coronavirus?

As the coronavirus outbreak continues to grow are credit unions serving first responders ready? Credit unions serving first responders will be a primary point of contact as first responders come off duty and into the credit union. ARLINGTON, Va.—How effective are credit union plans for addressing pandemics and business continuity?   It’s a question credit unions need to be asking right now as the coronavirus outbreak continues to grow. Death tolls this week topped 1,100, with a record 100 officially reported as getting sick in a day. The coronavirus has already surpassed SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) in number of affected and killed. Experts told CUToday.info the growth of the coronavirus that CUs should be reviewing their pandemic and business continuity plans, which likely have not been visited since the SARS outbreak in 2002. “I think it's too early to tell what kind of impact the coronavirus may have here in the U.S.,” said NAFCU Vice ...

Leasing Set To Surge In 2026?—Credit Unions May Miss Out If They Don’t Move

  CINCINNATI—As credit unions look to revive auto lending in 2026 after a sluggish year, one lending tool may become indispensable: vehicle leasing. With new-car prices still historically high, negative equity rising, and manufacturers fighting for market share, leasing is poised for a major rebound this year—and credit unions that remain on the sidelines risk losing out on strong, recurring loan volume. That’s the message from Scot Hall, executive vice president at  Swapalease.com , who says the economic and market dynamics heading into 2026 are aligning in ways that make leasing not only attractive, but essential. “Prices are up and they’re not coming down anytime soon,” Hall said, noting that inflation, tariffs, supply volatility, and chip-related uncertainty continue to push vehicle pricing higher. “Leasing is a great way to combat that. It’s also a great way to get somebody out of negative equity in a relatively short period of time.” Market Conditions Are Setting the Sta...
