Home foreclosure filings nationwide were up 153% in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year.

That’s according to Attom, a curator of land and property data.

In Ohio, foreclosures increased by more than 167% during the first six months of 2022, according to Attom, making the state’s foreclosure rate of one in every 475 homes the third highest in the nation.
