“Foreclosure activity remains challenging for U.S. homeowners, with starts and completed foreclosures up in October…As we approach 2025, the recent Fed rate cut, and the new administration could impact mortgage rates and market stability. While seasonal factors may slow things down briefly, we’ll be watching closely to see how these recent dynamics affect the market in the coming year.” Said Rob Barber, CEO of ATTOM.
