Jacksonville Florida foreclosures are back!
A year after the end of the federal foreclosure moratorium that lasted almost two years, Jacksonville, FL foreclosures are back and soaring!
According to Attom foreclosure data, foreclosures nationwide have reached pre-pandemic levels, with Jacksonville, FL #3 in foreclosure rates in the country:
"Metropolitan areas with a population greater than 1 million, with the worst foreclosure rates in August 2022 were: Cleveland, OH (one in every 1,820 housing units); Chicago, IL (one in every 1,877 housing units); Jacksonville, FL (one in every 2,074 housing units); Riverside, CA (one in every 2,091 housing units); and Orlando, FL (one in every 2,445 housing units)."
Where is the Jacksonville, FL market headed?
It was only a matter of time before the Jacksonville FL market started to shift after several years of a raging sellers market. With mortgage interest rates and inflation headed up, buyer demand is waning. The two year backlog of foreclosures from the moratorium still needs to be cleared out, and unfortunately it is at the same time as the last of the forbearance plans come to an end. Many of the millions who took advantage of the forbearance plans are not able to get back on track with their normal payments and will end up in foreclosure. This should only serve to exacerbate the foreclosure situation.

I reached out to Minna when we were first considering a short sale. I didn’t know much about the process or how it worked so naturally I had a ton of questions. She answered all of my questions as well as explained the process in detail so I would know exactly what to expect. Several months later, we kicked off the sale. I had heard so many horror stories about what can go wrong in a short sale so I was very uneasy. With Minna’s expertise the process was so much smoother than I could have ever anticipated! It was just over three months from the time we listed to closing (which is fast for a short sale)! Minna’s responsiveness and dedication along the way was a huge asset!! It’s because of her that our family is able to put the past behind us and move on to bigger and better things! I highly recommend her
