This level of activity is the highest recorded since the first quarter of 2020.<br>\n## Recent Trends (Q1 2026)<\/p>\n<p>* Year-over-Year Increase: Foreclosure filings jumped 26% compared to the first quarter of 2025.<br>\n* Foreclosure Phases:<br>\n* Starts: Lenders initiated proceedings on 82,631 properties, a 20% annual increase.<br>\n* Completions: Bank repossessions (REOs) surged 45% year-over-year to 14,020 properties.<br>\n* Contributing Factors: Experts attribute the rise to skyrocketing homeownership costs, specifically property taxes, insurance premiums, and homeowners association (HOA) dues.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison:<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 3.8 million to 7.8 million homes experienced completed foreclosures in the U.S. between 2007 and 2010, marking the peak of the housing crisis. Annual foreclosure filings (default notices, auctions, and repossessions) rose dramatically from nearly 1.3 million in 2007 to roughly 2.9 million in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>So far our economy is not at the 2008 Great Recession Level but it could be in our future.  That may be the reason Israel started the Iran War and Trump is putting an Israeli Loyalist over the Federal Reserve.  His fingerprints were on the last crisis and Trump fucking well knows it.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Warsh, Donald Trump\u2019s 2026 pick to lead the Federal Reserve, was a Fed governor (2006\u20132011) who served as the central bank\u2019s primary liaison to Wall Street during the 2008 financial crisis. As a top adviser to Chair Ben Bernanke, Warsh helped broker the sale of Bear Stearns to JPMorgan Chase and managed the bailouts of AIG. While the crash was managed to help the Israeli Oligarchy, Protestant America was made to cry like it had never cried before.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the fortunes lost, companies bankrupted, car dealerships shut down, over 12 people per 100 killed themselves, later in 2015 the direct attack on Southern culture entered its 3rd leg with the take down of our statues with the movement lead by the Israeli Oligarchy that had been saved by the Israeli shitheads at the Federal Reserve.<\/p>\n<p>If you think all is well right now, you must have lost your score card.  America is in as much trouble as Iran because of Trump\u2019s Israeli Oligarchy friends.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"AxhpL3KrWf\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/mmchuck.com\/m\/how-tip-me\/\">How To Support Me<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cHow To Support Me\u201d \u2014 mmchuck.com\" src=\"https:\/\/mmchuck.com\/m\/how-tip-me\/embed\/#?secret=S9ALFterpk#?secret=AxhpL3KrWf\" data-secret=\"AxhpL3KrWf\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As of May 2026, U.S. foreclosure filings have reached a six-year high, with nearly 119,000&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1277,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[94,126],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1276","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","category-business-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmchuck.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmchuck.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmchuck.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmchuck.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmchuck.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1276"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/mmchuck.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1276\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1280,"href":"https:\/\/mmchuck.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1276\/revisions\/1280"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmchuck.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmchuck.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmchuck.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmchuck.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
