HUD PD&R Regional Reports

Sales are slowing. Mortgage distress is edging higher. Are you building the skills to help?

HUD’s Q2 2026 Pacific Region report gives KW Default Solutions agents several numbers worth watching:

🏠 Regional home sales fell 3%.
Nevada sales declined 8%, including a 10% drop in the Las Vegas metro. California sales declined 3%, while Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario fell 7%.

📊 Mortgage distress increased slightly.
The regional share of seriously delinquent mortgages and bank-owned properties rose from 0.7% to 0.8%.

“Seriously delinquent” means a mortgage is at least 90 days late or in foreclosure.

🔑Some rental markets also softened.
Las Vegas apartment vacancy reached 9.5%, and Phoenix reached 8.8%. Apartment rents declined approximately 2% in both markets.

What should we be doing with this information?

• Reach out early to homeowners facing financial hardship.
• Learn how to assemble a complete short sale package.
• Strengthen your BPO skills with accurate condition photos and supported pricing.
• Help investors evaluate realistic rents, vacancy and repair costs.
• Give sellers a clear pricing and marketing plan.

Conditions vary. Regional average home prices still rose 2%, and the mortgage distress measure remained below the national rate.

Our takeaway: build your knowledge, your systems and your relationships before a homeowner needs your help.

What are you seeing in your market—slower sales, more price reductions or more homeowners asking about their options?

Foreclosure starts are up 23% from a year ago. Active foreclosure inventory is up 43%.
And completed foreclosure sales are still running at just 59% of pre-pandemic volume.
Read those three numbers together, because that's the whole story.
New data out this week from the ICE Mortgage Monitor shows something that looks contradictory until you understand the pipeline. Delinquencies are actually improving. The national rate fell to 3.39% in July. Serious delinquency has dropped five months in a row. New defaults are down 4% year over year, and FHA defaults are down 13%. Cures climbed 12% to 464,000, the highest since March.
So why are foreclosures climbing?
Because those measure two different points in the process. Falling delinquency means fewer new borrowers going bad. Rising foreclosure means the files that went bad in 2023 and 2024 have finally run out of runway after two or three rounds of forbearance and modification. The back end is clearing old inventory, not new.
Here's what that means for you: the volume hitting the market over the next several quarters is already baked. It was delinquent a year ago. This isn't a forecast, it's a queue. And with completions at 59% of normal on an inventory up 43%, that backlog does not clear in two quarters.
Let me be clear about what this is not. This is not 2008. Delinquency is below pre-pandemic levels. Mortgage holder equity just hit a record $18 trillion. Underwriting since 2010 looks nothing like 2006. What we have is a concentrated pocket of distress moving through the system, and 813,000 borrowers underwater, up 44% year over year, mostly FHA and VA buyers from 2022 through 2025.
Every one of those files needs a BPO, a valuation, an occupancy check, and an agent who knows how to handle the disposition.
The asset managers staffing up for this are picking their broker panels right now. Certification and panel applications take months. The agents who built default practices in 2009 and 2010 were the ones who had already done the training before the volume showed up.

A homeowner contacts you and says:

“I can’t keep up with my mortgage payments. My home’s value has dropped, and I owe more than it’s worth.”

What do you say next?

This homeowner doesn’t need guesswork. They need an agent who understands negative equity, short sales, loss mitigation, and the options that may be available before the situation gets worse.

If you don’t know how to handle this conversation, it’s time to learn.

KW Default Solutions helps Keller Williams agents develop the knowledge, resources, and confidence to assist homeowners facing financial distress and mortgage default.

Don’t turn away from the difficult conversations. Learn how to become the agent these homeowners need.

🏠 THE HOUSING MARKET IS DIVIDED—AND THE NATIONAL HEADLINES DON’T TELL THE WHOLE STORY.

According to ResiClub, 64 of the nation’s 300 largest housing markets—21%—recorded year-over-year home-price declines between July 2025 and July 2026.

At the same time, 236 markets still posted year-over-year gains, and national home values increased approximately 1.1%.

What does this tell us?

There is no single national housing market. Some areas remain resilient, while others are experiencing higher inventory, softer prices and greater buyer negotiating power.

For real estate professionals, this is the time to understand what is happening locally and prepare for the opportunities that follow a changing market:

🏠 Sellers may need a stronger pricing and marketing strategy
📉 Homeowners who purchased near the peak may have fewer options
🤝 Buyers may gain negotiating leverage
🔑 Short sales, auctions and REO opportunities may increase in softer markets
📊 Local market knowledge matters more than national headlines

The market is changing—but it is not changing evenly.

Don’t compete. Change the game.
