4Closure Rescue urges homeowners not to confuse rising home values with financial security, as foreclosure filings quietly rise across several U.S. cities.
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - illiNews -- While the U.S. housing market continues to show strength in overall home values, an undercurrent of distress is quietly growing. Homeowners facing missed mortgage payments and rising insurance or tax costs are falling behind, even as their properties appreciate on paper.
David Litt, founder of 4Closure Rescue, a homeowner-support organization based in Chicago, warns that the numbers don't tell the full story. "Many homeowners have equity, but no liquidity. They're asset-rich and cash-poor—struggling to stay afloat while their house gains value they can't access."
According to Litt, the illusion of safety is one of the most dangerous trends he's witnessing. "The common belief is that rising home values automatically mean stability. But without income security or the ability to access equity in time, people are still vulnerable to foreclosure."

Recent reports show a gradual uptick in early-stage foreclosure activity, particularly in states like Illinois, Florida, and parts of California. The majority are not tied to market crashes, but to individual hardships—medical bills, temporary job loss, or sudden increases in escrow charges.
"We're seeing homeowners default not because they don't care—but because they don't understand how quickly the process can move, and they're afraid to reach out," Litt explains.
4Closure Rescue works with individuals to identify early warning signs and navigate alternatives to foreclosure—such as loan modifications, repayment plans, or graceful exits like short sales. The group focuses on education and emotional support as much as procedural steps.
"Foreclosure feels isolating," Litt says. "People delay action because they're ashamed. They don't realize that even one missed payment opens a window to ask for help—not to hide from it."
Experts agree that timing is everything. Many legal protections and lender programs are only available in the early stages of delinquency. Once a property enters the foreclosure docket, options narrow fast.

That's why Litt continues to stress awareness. "People don't need to panic, but they do need to act. The sooner you understand your position, the more choices you have. And that peace of mind is worth everything."
