The Foreclosure Moratorium is Ending. Bad News for the Housing Market?

Written by Mike Simonsen | July 21, 2021 8:52:42 PM Z

Our video about foreclosures has gotten over 15,000 views already - everyone is watching the market closely for what will happen.

In case you missed it, in the video I talk about the big news that we’re now in the final weeks of the foreclosure moratorium, and what that means for the real estate market. There are still a couple million homes in the mortgage forbearance program - what will happen to these homes when owners need to start paying their mortgage again? Will we see a wave of foreclosures?

If you've been following our market data videos every week, you know what signals I'm watching to assess the health of the real estate market. All signs point to a continued seller's market for some time to come, with strong demand and low inventory keeping prices high and reducing the number of foreclosures we'd normally expect to see.
