About this chart
This chart counts the Notices of Trustee Sale recorded each month: the document a lender records when it starts to foreclose on a home. Many are later canceled, for example when the owner sells or catches up on payments, so this is an early sign of distress rather than a count of foreclosures.
It opens on Maricopa County (records from 1996) and Pinal County (from 2002). Cochise, Coconino, Mohave, Santa Cruz, and Yavapai Counties can be added; each shows the year its records begin. Vacant land and commercial property are left out by default.
Use the County, City, and ZIP panels to focus on any area. Narrow it with the Property Type box and the loan amount, home size, and year built sliders. Use the date slider, or Full range, to choose the stretch of history shown.
Hover over a bar to see the count for that month.
