Jacksonville, Florida area foreclosure are on the rise!
After several very quiet years, real estate market share of pre-foreclosure, foreclosed, and short sale inventory is rising quickly. Covid-19 foreclosure moratoriums, followed by lots of Covid era mortgage rescue programs kept foreclosure to the lowest levels we have seen in decades, but what goes down, will eventually come up again.
With most Covid era loan workouts programs finally ending, foreclosure starts are heading up again. Raging inflation and a weak economy are also contributing to seller mortgage defaults, and high interest rates have reduced the buyer pool down to historical record lows.
All Jacksonville foreclosure related home sales have tripled over the last year, and will likely continue to accelerate. The good news is, there are still many ongoing mortgage workout options available. Also, if you just want to sell, but owe more than your home is worth, short sales are currently easier than ever!

Minna has been a fantastic partner in selling our home.
