## Resource

Foreclosure filings surged 20% in the first half of 2026, hitting over 227,000 properties — not a crash, but a return to normal after an unusually quiet period. Foreclosure starts rose 18%, REOs jumped 33%, and foreclosure timelines shrank 13%. Short sales, up 16%, offer a less damaging alternative to full foreclosure — helping homeowners qualify for new loans in 4 years vs. 7 after a foreclosure — but come with risks like fluctuating home values and uncertain credit benefits. For struggling homeowners, understanding these paths is key to navigating financial hardship wisely. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
