New York, NY, October 28, 2026 —

Queens recorded 106 first-time foreclosures in the third quarter of 2026, according to a report. The figure was the borough’s second-lowest since the COVID-19 pandemic and represented a 36% decrease from the same quarter a year earlier.

Despite the year-over-year decline, Queens had the highest number of foreclosures among New York City’s boroughs during the quarter. The report summary did not provide figures for the other boroughs, so the size of the difference between Queens and the rest of the city is not available.

The reported count refers to first-time foreclosures. The summary did not define how that category was measured or specify whether the number represents filings, cases, or another stage in the foreclosure process. It also did not identify the report’s publisher or describe its data source.

The comparison with the same quarter in 2025 indicates a decline over the year, while the longer-term comparison places the 2026 figure near a low for the period since the pandemic. The summary does not provide earlier quarterly totals or details about the timing of the prior low, making it impossible to assess the quarter-to-quarter pattern from the information available.

The figures show that Queens led the city’s boroughs in first-time foreclosures even as its count fell substantially year over year. The report summary does not provide information about causes, household circumstances, or possible effects of the change, and it does not indicate what happened after the quarter ended.
