Real Estate News: Real Estate Investing Podcast

Are zombie foreclosures truly dead, or could they be on the rise again? In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, host Kathy Fettke breaks down the latest Q1 2025 housing market data, including trends in zombie foreclosures, U.S. loan delinquencies, and overall mortgage activity.

With foreclosure rates declining but loan delinquencies shifting, what does this mean for investors, homeowners, and the broader housing market? Kathy analyzes key insights from ATTOM’s and latest vacant property report, a report from ICE (Intercontinental Exchange) on the impact of the VA foreclosure moratorium ending, and new risks emerging from wildfire-affected areas in California.
