ATTOM Zombie Foreclosure Watch — Q1 2026 Foreclosure volume tells you how many properties are in the pipeline. Zombie data tells you how many of those properties are vacant inside that pipeline. They measure different things. National Snapshot — Q1 2026 According to ATTOM: 230,401 residential properties in foreclosure 3.27% classified as zombie properties Vacant while still in pre-foreclosure Zombie rates remain historically low and stable compared to recent quarters. More than 96% of homes in foreclosure are still occupied or being actively managed. What Is a Zombie Property? A zombie foreclosure is a property that: Is in the foreclosure process Is vacant Has not yet been repossessed by the lender The foreclosure has not completed. The lender does not yet own the property. It sits in legal and operational limbo. It is not an REO. It is not bank-owned. It is not a short sale. States Worth Watching While the national rate is low, concentration varies: South Dakota: 17.9% zombie rate (5 properties) Kansas: 10.6% (62 properties) Iowa: 7.0% (93 properties) Ohio: 6.2% (589 properties) Illinois: 4.4% (676 properties) Florida: 3.5% (2,300 properties) Colorado: 2.8% (47 properties) Some states show high percentages but very small volumes. Others show moderate percentages with meaningful inventory counts. Both matter differently at the local level. What This Signals In Q1 2026, zombie foreclosures remain a small share of total foreclosure activity nationwide. Distress is present in the pipeline. Broad abandonment is not. Vacancy inside the foreclosure process is the signal that affects neighborhoods most directly. Volume tells you pressure exists. Vacancy tells you whether it is spilling into visible decay.

1️⃣ Off-Plan Projects Without DLD Approval 🚧 Fake developers selling units in unregistered projects ➡️ No RERA escrow = your money is gone 2️⃣ Agents Showing Fake Ownership Papers 🕵️♂️ Forged title deeds or listings for properties they don’t represent ➡️ If it’s not on DLD records, it’s probably a lie 3️⃣ Rental Scam: Same Unit, Multiple Deposits 🏠 Agent takes AED 5K–10K “deposit” from several people ➡️ Disappears before move-in day zero refund ⸻ 🛡️ How to Protect Yourself: ✅ Use DLD-licensed brokers only ✅ Always meet at the agency office ✅ Ask for broker’s RERA ID + project number ✅ Verify listings on the Dubai REST or DLD app ⸻ 📌 Tag someone house hunting in Dubai this can save them

NAR has a BIG image problem Among real estate agents surveyed by Zoodealio and ResiClub, National Association of REALTORS® has a net favorability rating of -51. This net favorability rating is calculated by adding up agents with a "very favorable" or "somewhat favorable" view of NAR minus those with a "very unfavorable" or "somewhat unfavorable" view of NAR. Among the 238 real estate agents who took the survey, half (50%) have been real estate agents for 15 years or more. You can find the full results to our real estate agent survey here: https://lnkd.in/dUZVy653

Why a 100% U.S.-Owned LLC Is a Must for DSCR Loans: The Case of Loan 1366 – Assaf Loan 1366 looked like a smooth DSCR deal on paper. Assaf Vigdor submitted his application with all documents in place for a property valued at $138,000. The appraisal was done, and things moved into underwriting without issue—until the ownership structure of his LLC came under review. That’s when the deal hit a wall. Assaf’s LLC, Vigdor Properties LLC, was 50% owned by an Israeli company, Startup City Ltd. Though Assaf fully owned that foreign company, the lender flagged it as disqualifying under DSCR guidelines. Why? Because DSCR loans require a 100% U.S.-owned LLC. Any foreign entity in the ownership chain—even indirectly—creates tax and legal enforcement issues for lenders. That’s a risk they won’t take. Assaf had disclosed the ownership early, but most DSCR lenders review LLC structure only at final underwriting. That’s standard in the process—initial focus is placed on property and income coverage, not entity formation. When the lender asked him to restructure the LLC to remove the foreign ownership, Assaf declined. He requested a refund of the $2,000 escrow, but because the loan had entered full underwriting—and Nadlan Capital Group had worked the file for nearly three months—that escrow was non-refundable. We offered to resume the process if the LLC was updated or a new U.S.-based one was formed. But Assaf chose to walk away. This case is a clear reminder: DSCR loans have non-negotiable structural rules. Ownership must be 100% U.S.-based—even if the borrower controls a foreign entity. Don’t let a technicality kill your deal. Before you apply, talk to our team. We’ll help you set up the right entity from day one—so you don’t lose time, money, or opportunity.

You only get one chance to make a strong debut on the market. Overprice it, and buyers may skip your listing entirely. Underprice it, and you might be leaving money on the table. Here's the thing: the RIGHT price brings the RIGHT results. ✔ It draws serious buyers early. ✔ Often leads to faster, stronger offers. ✔ Prevents your listing from going stale. ✔ Makes the appraisal process smoother. In short? Strategic pricing is 🔑 Let's get it right from day one. #homesellingtips #pricingstrategy #realestatemarket #sellingsmart #realestateexper

Top 7 Personal Pain Points of Real Estate Appraisers & Their Solutions… 1. Overwork and Lack of Free Time - Problem: Long hours, tight deadlines, client pressure. - Effect: Missed family time, no vacations, difficulty unplugging. - Root Cause: Fee-per-report model, lack of delegation/systems, constant client demands. - Solution: Systemizing, automating, hiring, delegation. 2. Stress and Burnout - Problem: Constant revision requests, lender pressure, AMC demands, regulatory scrutiny. - Effect: Mental fatigue, anxiety, even health issues. - Root Cause: High stakes work, low margin for error, subjective value disputes. - Solution: Leveraged team of appraisers and internal reviewers. 3. Inconsistent or Unpredictable Income - Problem: Feast-or-famine cycle, payment delays from AMCs/lenders. - Effect: Financial stress, difficulty planning for future. - Root Cause: Lack of retainers, seasonal markets, lack of recurring revenue. - Solution: Always-on marketing, diversified client base, new non-lender and non-AMC clients okay with up-front appraisal fee payments. 4. Isolation and Loneliness - Problem: Mostly solo work, limited peer interaction, especially for independents. - Effect: Lack of support, professional stagnation, personal dissatisfaction. - Root Cause: Nature of fieldwork, remote clients, no internal team or community. - Solution: Build and lead a team around you, create a supportive company culture, joint outing and professional networking. 5. Technology Fatigue - Problem: Juggling multiple platforms (report writing software, MLS, mapping tools, etc.) - Effect: Frustration, wasted time, difficulty keeping up with tech changes. - Root Cause: Legacy tools, lack of integration, and inadequate training/support. - Solution: All-in-one platforms like Zoho One and SmartSuite, integrations and automations internal to platforms or leveraging Zapier or Make, trained AI agents. 6. Limited Career Growth or Exit Options - Problem: Hard to scale, sell, or transition out of the profession. - Effect: Feeling trapped in the business/job, fear of burnout or obsolescence. - Root Cause: Owner-dependency, lack of systems, unclear pathways to scale or sell. - Solution: Systemizing, automating, hiring, delegating, learning business development and professional management, building valuable turnkey franchise prototype-like business. 7. Lack of Recognition or Respect - Problem: Treated like a vendor or necessary evil by lenders and AMCs. - Effect: Low morale, imposter syndrome, diminished confidence. - Root Cause: Regulatory pressures, commoditization of appraisal services. - Solution: Commitment to self study, learning, growth and development, business building, professional, career and business coaching. = = = = = Need help?
