Banks and other lenders are taking back far more American homes than they were a year ago. Lenders completed foreclosures on 5,794 US properties in August, a 42% jump from August of 2025 and a 22% rise from July, says real estate data firm ATTOM. Texas accounted for 1,835 of those repossessions, more than three times the 589 recorded in California. North Carolina, Arizona and Alabama followed with 356, 296 and 286 completed foreclosures respectively. Houston saw more bank repossessions than any other major metro area with 448, followed by Dallas with 402 and San Antonio with 256.
