Commercial real estate foreclosures jumped 117% in March as trouble looms
The commercial real estate market is starting to buckle under the weight of higher interest rates and remote work.
There were 625 commercial real estate foreclosures in March, up 6% from February and 117% from the same time last year, according to a new report published by real estate data provider ATTOM.
The figure is calculated based on commercial properties with at least one foreclosure filing — including default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions — entered into the ATTOM Data Warehouse during the month.
California had the highest number of commercial foreclosures in March, with 187 properties. While that marked an 8% decrease from the previous month, it is a stunning 405% jump from the previous year.
