Pre-foreclosure listings, state by state
Every state we read foreclosure filings in, with what we hold today: suits filed and owners served, before any sale is set. Counts come from the same rollup the county pages read, so nothing on this page can disagree with the page it links to.

About this coverage
Why these states?
Because its foreclosure suits publish notices we can read reliably, every day they run: the court file, the lender, the owners being served and the property. Florida forecloses through its courts, so an owner who cannot be served in person is served by a published notice of action. A state is added once its filings are read in full and every record can be traced to a published notice.
How many counties are covered?
425 counties currently carry at least one case, and 101 have enough for a published page. A county page is published once eight cases in it have first published a notice in the last 90 days.
How often does this update?
Every day. New notices are read the day they are published, folded into their cases and counted, so a suit served this week is on its county page by the next morning.
How coverage grows
A county appears here the morning its first case is read. County pages are published on a threshold rather than all at once: a page is only worth a reader’s time when it has enough cases to describe a market, so a county enters the index at eight cases in 90 days, and leaves only below five. The gap is deliberate — without it, a small county would enter and leave the sitemap week by week.
The methodology says how a published notice becomes a case record, and what a notice can and cannot tell you.
