Bank-Owned Properties Are Up 41% From Last Year.

When a property fails to sell at auction, it reverts to bank ownership—becoming what’s known as a real estate owned (REO) property. For investors, REOs often represent an opportunity to acquire distressed assets at potentially favorable terms.

The latest August 2025 data from ATTOM Data Solutions reveals a sharp increase in REO activity nationwide, signaling that more properties are making their way through the foreclosure pipeline and back into the hands of lenders. For investors, this surge could mean expanded access to discounted inventory, but also the need for careful due diligence.

The Numbers: August 2025 REO Activity
Nationwide, 4,077 REO properties were recorded in August 2025, up 5.46% month over month and a striking 41.12% year over year. This jump underscores the growing number of distressed homes banks are now looking to offload.

Breaking down the numbers further:

Texas: 476 REOs, a 186.75% YoY increase—the single largest state-level surge.

Texas: With nearly 500 bank-owned properties in August and a staggering 186% annual increase, Texas may be ground zero for REO opportunities. Investors focusing on rental growth markets such as Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio could find an expanded pool of inventory.
