It’s always eye-opening to see national trends reflected in our own backyards. Recent data shows that mortgage delinquency rates climbed to 3.53% in August 2026, with serious delinquencies up 19% and foreclosure inventory up 41% compared to last year. Certain states are feeling this financial stress most acutely, particularly homeowners with FHA loans facing higher insurance and tax costs.
Having navigated both literal and real estate waters from Michigan to Palm City, I know how shifts like these can impact our local market and neighbors. Over my 30+ years as a Realtor—across Maryland, Virginia, Michigan, and Florida—I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to stay informed and prepared when the tides change. If you’re curious about how these trends might affect your area or your plans, I’m always happy to share insights and resources from my experience.
