Foreclosure rates have surged across the country and are up almost 20% from this time last year.

"In 2025, we’ve seen a consistent pattern of foreclosure activity trending higher, with both starts and completions posting year-over-year increases for consecutive quarters,” says Rob Barber, CEO of ATTOM, a leading curator of land, property, and real estate data.

"While these figures remain within a historically reasonable range, the persistence of this trend could be an early indicator of emerging borrower strain in some areas."

📉 Experts See Hope Ahead for Mortgage Rates!
You’ve probably noticed rates starting to ease — and experts say this trend could continue into next year. Why? The two biggest factors that influence mortgage rates, the 10-year treasury yield and the mortgage rate spread, are both moving in the right direction.

✅ The spread (the gap between the yield and mortgage rates) is shrinking as market uncertainty fades.
✅ The 10-year treasury yield itself is forecast to decline in the months ahead.

Together, these signs point toward the potential for lower mortgage rates in 2026, possibly dipping into the upper 5% range if the trend continues.

Staying informed can help you plan your next move with confidence — whether you’re buying, selling, or refinancing.

📉 Mortgage rates just dropped to their lowest point since October 2024 — and buyers are jumping back in! 🏡

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, loan applications are up 23% compared to this time last year. Buyer demand is the strongest it’s been since July, which means if you’ve been waiting to sell (or had an expired listing), this could be your window of opportunity.

✨ List while buyer activity is rising — before more sellers enter the market.

Thinking about making a move? Let’s talk strategy and get your home in front of today’s motivated buyers.
