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 16 million vacant homes in the country aren’t just sitting there—a new study found they actively drive up nearby real estate prices and keep potential first-time buyers from entering the market.

According to a new report from ATTOM, zombie properties represent just one of every 12,400 residential properties nationwide, as the count of vacant homes in foreclosure ticked up for the fourth consecutive quarter.

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.

A new study has found that one in 75 homes nationwide were considered zombie properties in the fourth quarter of 2021, with counts likely to rise as national foreclosure moratoria end.

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

While the number of zombie properties, including those abandoned in the foreclosure process, continue to slip, these states are still dealing with large volumes of vacant properties.
