AGENTS! Are you chasing the same retail listings as everyone else?
A massive shift is happening, and most agents are completely missing the trend.
While the "retail frenzy" continues to dominate the conversation, ATTOM Data is reporting a whole new reality.
The data is clear. The distress wave is here:
📈 Foreclosure activity is UP 30%+ year-over-year.
📊 Over 40,000+ properties hit foreclosure in a SINGLE month.
🏠 That’s roughly 1 in every 3,500 homes.
This is not a 2008-style crash. This is a unique shift.
It is a rising distress market that still has equity.
This combination creates a distinct, time-sensitive Short Sale Window.
What that means for YOU as an agent:
While everyone else is fighting over low inventory, the forward-thinking agents are:
✔️ Tapping into off-market distressed sellers.
✔️ Becoming the go-to short sale expert in their market.
✔️ Listing homes BEFORE they hit foreclosure.
✔️ Building a pipeline that most agents don’t even see yet.
Reality check: Foreclosures are increasing month after month. The agents who wait will be stuck competing for REOs. The agents who move NOW will control the inventory.
This is the moment. Learn it, position it, and own your market before everyone else catches on.
