She sells properties all over Northeast Florida, including in Jacksonville. She says one reason our area has more foreclosures involves the way they were processed during the pandemic.<\/p>\n \u201cDuring 2020\u2026a lot of the foreclosure process was actually much more lenient, so it was actually delayed during that time, which now pushes our numbers to look a bit higher,\u201d said Ebarb-Rembold.<\/p>\n Another factor, she says, is the influx of people who\u2019ve moved down here in recent years.<\/p>\n \u201cWe did have such a high number of people move here in that 2022 to 2024 range at a higher price point. Some of those people we are seeing wanting to sell now\u2026and they\u2019re realizing that there isn\u2019t as much equity there as they would need based on that discrepancy,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n [DOWNLOAD: <\/b>Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/b><\/a>]<\/b><\/p>\n Despite the foreclosure rates being as high as they are in Florida, Ebarb-Rembold says it doesn\u2019t represent a problem with the overall housing market here, as it is currently stable. <\/p>\n You can read ATTOM\u2019s full report here:<\/p>\n Foreclosure Activity Posts Annual Increase in First Half of 2026<\/a><\/p>\n [SIGN UP: <\/b>Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/b><\/a>] <\/b><\/p>\n Click here<\/b><\/a> to download the free Action News Jax news and weather apps, <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to stream Action News Jax live.<\/b><\/p>\n Action News Jax Top Stories<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 In ATTOM\u2019s Mid-Year 2026 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, it found that foreclosure rates nationally are…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":942097,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5136],"tags":[138646,12189,15619,379408,39955,5229,3188,723,11561,7310,379406,2867,379405,425,29917,30170,379407,50,64442,7825,119915,303872,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-942096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-_florida","tag-action_news","tag-action_news_jack","tag-actionnews","tag-adam","tag-america","tag-fl","tag-florida","tag-jack","tag-jacksonville","tag-keller_williams_realty","tag-kelsey","tag-kelsey_ebarb_rembold","tag-local","tag-madison","tag-madison_foglio","tag-nefa","tag-news","tag-northeast_florida","tag-pandemic","tag-saint_johns_county","tag-sunshine_state","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116937912937227216","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/942096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=942096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/942096\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/942097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=942096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=942096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=942096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
