Calculations are based on the official filing date of the foreclosure, as stamped or printed on the document and recorded at the county level. The report incorporates documents filed across all three phases of foreclosure: Default — Notice of Default (NOD) and Lis Pendens (LIS); Auction — Notice of Trustee Sale (NTS) and Notice of Foreclosure Sale (NFS).
