What Today’s Foreclosure Numbers Mean for Your Strategy in Denver

Why These Numbers Don’t Signal a Crisis
-
A natural part of the cycle
Fluctuations in foreclosure activity are expected and indicate a market in balance not one unraveling .

Today is not 2008

Though there has been a modest uptick compared to the ultra‑low, pandemic‑era numbers, filings remain well below historic averages—in some cases far lower than even normal years pre‑pandemic .
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

For sellers
Foreclosure activity is not destabilizing the market. Homes continue to move when marketed effectively and strategically. This is not a time for fear but a time for smart positioning .

For both
