National Tax Lien Association (NTLA) publishes article on ‘The Uneventful Foreclosure Crisis’

The National Tax Lien Association (NTLA) spent three years conducting research discovering actual data, looking specifically at the thirty states, and the hundreds of municipalities within them that allow investor financing of delinquent tax accounts. The results showed conclusively that the private financing of tax delinquencies works to preserve home ownership even better than the capital markets of the mortgage industry.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

Yet the data shows a significant downward trend in both tax liens and homestead tax foreclosures, with only 259 owner-occupied homes (notated with “Hx”) foreclosed in 2013, the year following the NCLC’s report. That number dropped to 58 the following year – a 78% decline. As compared to the mortgage foreclosures covering more than 110,000 properties each of those years with only a 2.8% decline between them. Likely, there was an increase in property tax foreclosures due to the great recession, but it was a far cry from a crisis itself. To the contrary, the data shows that private funding of the tax delinquencies gave the property owners (and lenders) time to get caught up without losing their homes. Tax liens have mandatory wait periods before foreclosures can begin, which provides significant time for property owners to reorganize their finances or sell the property themselves.
