How the Foreclosure Rate in Hawaii Compares to the Nation

by Samuel Stebbins, 24/7 Wall St. via The Center Square, Aug 11, 2022

Demand for single-family homes surged in the past two years, as the coronavirus pandemic prompted people to look for more living space. The increased demand, facilitated by low interest rates and coupled with supply constraints, led to soaring home prices. (These are 15 cities with the most overpriced housing markets.)

But now the U.S. housing market appears to be coming back to earth, with some parts of the country showing early distress signs. Foreclosure filings -- a measure of the health of housing markets at local, state, or national levels -- are on the rise across the country.

According to Attom, a curator of land and property data, home foreclosure filings - which include default notices, bank repossessions, and scheduled auctions - are up 153% in the first half of 2022 compared to the same period last year.

In Hawaii, foreclosures rose by 94.1%, from 202 in the first six months of 2021 to 392 in the first half of 2022. The foreclosure rate in the state of one in every 1,431 homes ranks as the 19th lowest in the nation.

According to five-year estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2020 American Community Survey, 64.4% of homeowners in Hawaii are paying down a mortgage, the 18th largest share among states.

The typical household in the state has an income of $83,173 a year, and the typical home is worth $636,400. For context, the typical American household's annual income is $64,994, and the national median home value is $229,800.

 

Rank 32

Foreclosure rate (foreclosures per housing unit) 1:1,431
Homes in foreclosure, 1st half 2022 392

Median home value ($) 636,400
