Indiana was among the states that saw the highest level of foreclosure activity last year, according to a new report from Irvine, California-based real estate analytics company Attom.
Indiana was seventh in the nation based on 2025 foreclosure activity relative to total housing units in the state, according to Attom’s 2025 Year-End U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, which was released Thursday.
The Hoosier State saw foreclosure filings on 9,768 homes last year, which equates to one foreclosure filing for every 302 housing units in the state.
As a comparison, the other states in the Top 10 were, in ranked order:
• Florida (one foreclosure filing per 230 housing units, or 43,919 foreclosure filings)
- Delaware (one per 240 units, or 1,906 filings)
- South Carolina (one per 242 units, or 9,925 filings)
- Illinois (one per 248 units, or 21,916 filings)
- Nevada (one per 248 units, or 5,262 filings)
- New Jersey (one per 273 units, or 13,821 filings)
- Ohio (one per 307 units, or 17,153 filings)
- Texas (one per 319 units, or 37,240 filings)
- Maryland (one per 326 units, or 7,818 filings)
Nationwide, Attom said, 367,460 properties saw foreclosure filings in 2025, representing 0.26% of all U.S. housing units. That’s a 14% increase from 2024, which saw 322,103 filings, representing 0.23% of all housing units.
As a point of comparison: U.S. foreclosure activity peaked in 2010, which saw 2.87 million foreclosure filings, representing 2.23% of all housing units.
In a written statement, Attom CEO Rob Barber called last year’s increase in foreclosure activity “a continued normalization of the housing market following several years of historically low levels.”
“While filings, starts, and repossessions all rose compared to 2024, foreclosure activity remains well below pre-pandemic norms and a fraction of what we saw during the last housing crisis,” Barber said. “The data suggests that today’s uptick is being driven more by market recalibration than widespread homeowner distress, with strong equity positions and more disciplined lending continuing to limit risk.”
