Connecticut’s pre-foreclosures fell, but rising costs leave homeowners struggling. Many sell under pressure while experts call for stronger aid and policies.

California’s pre-foreclosures rose 34.4% in September, driven by inflation and rate hikes, signaling rising risk despite better conditions than past crises.

New Jersey’s pre-foreclosure rates hit record lows, but high housing costs and rising mortgage rates leave many homeowners still struggling.

Washington’s pre-foreclosures are declining but affordability challenges and rising costs still put many homeowners at risk of financial instability.
