Berkshire County, MA: Foreclosures, Tax Liens & Distressed Properties

Berkshire County, Massachusetts sits inside DLRadar's nationwide distress index, built entirely from public records. Coverage runs to 36 ZIPs across Berkshire County, a low 19/100 average. The county's lending-headwind score sits at 20/100 (contained). The county's ZIP scores run from 12 up to 19/100.

The expansion-phase county posted home values that rose 6.8% over twelve months, a 57/100-confidence read. Under a rising market, a subset takes on water and the breakdown below pinpoints them.

At +6.8% YoY (57/100 confidence), well-bought parcels resell faster which speeds resale of distressed buys. A contained 20/100 bank headwind favors owner-driven distress more than bank stock.

The sharpest Berkshire County readings come from 01008 (19/100), 01029 (19/100), 01201 (19/100), 01220 (19/100), 01222 (19/100), 01223 (19/100) — open any for the parcel detail. Other tracked Berkshire County ZIPs include 01224, 01225, 01226, 01229, 01230, 01235, 01236, 01237, 01238, 01240.

On the housing-and-income side, the Berkshire County ZIPs on file run 85% of homes owner-occupied, a median age of 51.9, typical home values near $420,515, a 6.9% poverty rate, incomes around $76,111, 28.5% of units sitting vacant. Income, equity and tenure like these drive the depth of motivated supply and the pace of resale.

All in at 19/100 over 36 ZIPs, the opportunity hides below the average for a disciplined buyer. A DLRadar subscription opens every Berkshire County parcel: owner, mailing address, APN, its own score, the lender behind it and an exit read.

Whether Berkshire County, Massachusetts carries heavy distress or only a handful of flagged parcels, every score here is built the same deterministic way — from recorded foreclosures, tax delinquency, liens and lender stress — so Berkshire County can be compared directly against any county in the country.

Read Berkshire County, Massachusetts as a heat map for effort — the county's low composite of 19/100 hides wide ZIP-level variation, and the return comes from chasing the hot ZIPs, not the average. Provenance for Berkshire County is explicit: recorders and courts for filings, FHFA for prices, FDIC for lenders. No interpolation, no synthetic values.

At the ZIP level, the sharpest readings in Berkshire County are 01008 (19/100), 01029 (19/100), 01201 (19/100), 01220 (19/100), 01222 (19/100), 01223 (19/100). DLRadar also scores 01224, 01225, 01226, 01229, 01230, 01235, 01236, 01237 and more across the county. Each code carries its own composite built from that ZIP's foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien and lender signals, so two neighboring ZIPs can diverge sharply even inside one county.

Under Berkshire County's headline composite sit distinct layers — recorded foreclosures, tax and lien delinquency, mortgage stress and bank headwind — each scored separately before they roll up, so the same total can describe very different markets.
