Abstract

In this paper, we examined heterogeneity in the simultaneous space-time impact of foreclosures on neighborhood property values. Foreclosures with longer foreclosure processes were associated with negative neighborhood price externalities from the time the foreclosing household still had ownership of the property and continued through the Real Estate Owned period. However, foreclosures with shorter foreclosure processes were associated with negative neighborhood price externalities that did not occur until at least three months after the foreclosure auction and were much smaller in magnitude. Results suggest a negative neighborhood effect of extending the length of the foreclosure process. Policy encouraging foreclosure “workout” efforts, which when unsuccessful extend the duration of the foreclosure process, should take these additional price externalities into account.
