New Foreclosure Numbers are Rising: Is this the Start of a Housing Crash?
One of the reason there are less foreclosures is because many people who were in forebearance or behind on their mortgage now have equity and were able to either sell before they were foreclosed or to make up the late payments. Some homeowners also get new terms from their mortgage company and were able to push those payments into the future.
But there is little evidence that although foreclosures are rising that there will be a crash in the housing market in 2022 or 2023 or that it will negatively affect home prices since foreclosures are at historically low levels.
