Foreclosure Archives (2006 – 2014)

In the wake of the 2008 foreclosure crisis, Woodstock published quarterly reports on foreclosure filings and auctions in the Chicago metropolitan area.

In addition to our foreclosure updates, our widely-cited report, “There Goes the Neighborhood,” anticipated the collapse of the 2000s housing bubble by connecting the dots between subprime lending, foreclosures, and their effects on neighborhood property values.
