@tristan.ahumada: Believe it or not, the number of so-called “zombie foreclosures”—homes where owners have abandoned the property but the foreclosure process isn’t complete—is creeping up across America. Here’s where the spike is most notable: Highest year-over-year jumps in zombie foreclosures: • Colorado (+115%) • Washington (+114%) • Iowa (+84%) • North Carolina (+80%) • Oklahoma (+72%) That might sound minor overall, but these abandoned homes can drag down neighborhood values, invite vandalism, and slow down sales in surrounding areas. What to know: •Total zombie homes now number in the thousands of abandoned foreclosure properties, making up 3.38% of homes in the foreclosure process. (ATTOM Q3 report) •If you’re house hunting, these could offer deals—but be wary of legal and repair challenges. Would you consider buying a “zombie” home if the price was right—or would you walk away?
