Report methodology

The RealtyTrac Monthly U.S. Foreclosure Market Report provides a count
of the total number of properties with at least one foreclosure filing
reported during the quarter — broken out by type of filing at the state
and national level. Data is also available at the individual county level.
RealtyTrac’s report incorporates documents filed in all three phases of
foreclosure: Default — Notice of Default (NOD) and Lis Pendens (LIS);
Auction — Notice of Trustee Sale and Notice of Foreclosure Sale (NTS and
NFS); and Real Estate Owned, or REO properties (that have been foreclosed
on and repurchased by a bank). If more than one foreclosure document is
filed against a property during the quarter only the most recent filing is
counted in the report. The report also checks if the same type of document
was filed against a property in a previous quarter. If so, and if that
previous filing occurred within the estimated foreclosure timeframe for the
state the property is in, the report does not count the property in the
current month.
