Foreclosure & Distressed Property Data

Foreclosure data tracks properties at various stages of financial distress, from the initial notice of default (NOD) through auction and eventual bank repossession (REO). This data is a primary source of investment leads for distressed property investors, fix-and-flip operators, and wholesalers. The US foreclosure process varies significantly by state (judicial vs. non-judicial states), making nationwide data aggregation a complex but valuable product. Tax lien and tax deed data is closely related, covering properties where owners have failed to pay property taxes.

Guide to using this category

Judicial vs. Non-Judicial Foreclosure States

In judicial states (NY, FL, NJ), foreclosures go through the courts and take 18–36 months. In non-judicial states (CA, TX, AZ), the process takes 90–180 days. Data availability and lead timing differ significantly.

Tax Lien vs. Tax Deed States

Tax lien states sell the lien certificate to investors who earn interest. Tax deed states sell the property directly at auction. Know your state's process before investing.
