ATTOM data has found that the number of vacant homes in foreclosure has risen for the fifth consecutive quarter, as zombie properties accounted for the largest share of all homes since before the pandemic.

The number of zombie properties inched upward in Q4, and though they remain a small portion of the market at just one in every 13,000 residential properties nationwide, those numbers are projected to grow in the aftermath of foreclosure moratoria lapsing.

With foreclosure activity on the rise 13% quarter-over-quarter, Q2 marked the third straight quarter that the count of pre-foreclosure properties has risen since the end of the nationwide foreclosure moratorium.

One in four U.S. homes now sit vacant, down 3.7% from Q2’s totals according to a new study.
