The county market is in a peak phase: home prices rose 4.9% over the past year, at 36/100 phase confidence. On a market plateau, blanket buying underperforms — the edge is parcel by parcel.

With Columbia County flat at +4.9% YoY (36/100 confidence), the discount lives in outliers and a county-wide sweep stays on the shelf. A mid-cycle 56/100 lender reading means mixed owner- and bank-driven distress.

The sharpest Columbia County readings come from 12062 (24/100), 12123 (24/100), 12156 (24/100), 12546 (23/100), 12571 (23/100), 12567 (22/100) — open any for the parcel detail. The breakdown continues through 12583, 12017, 12024, 12029, 12037, 12060, 12075, 12106, 12115, 12125 and more.

These fundamentals drive the kind of distress to expect and the buyer pool on exit.

Columbia County, New York's 21/100 average over 38 ZIPs says Columbia County is a screen-by-ZIP market where the ZIP scores point. Subscribers get each Columbia County parcel's owner, APN and address, its own score, the lender behind it and an exit read.

No county is too small to score: Columbia County, New York runs through the same foreclosure, tax, lien and bank-stress model as every major metro, so Columbia County's numbers mean exactly what they mean anywhere else in New York.

In Columbia County, New York, the scores are a targeting tool first: they tell you which ZIPs hold the distress and which owners are most likely under real financial pressure, so limited acquisition effort lands where it converts. Every figure traces to a public federal or county source — recorder and court records for foreclosure and liens, FHFA for the price cycle, FDIC for lender stress — and DLRadar leaves a signal blank rather than estimating where Columbia County data is thin.

The ZIP breakdown for Columbia County leads with 12062 (24/100), 12123 (24/100), 12156 (24/100), 12546 (23/100), 12571 (23/100), 12567 (22/100). DLRadar also scores 12583, 12017, 12024, 12029, 12037, 12060, 12075, 12106 and more across the county. Because each ZIP is graded on its own foreclosure, tax and lender record, the county's distress is best read code by code rather than as a single number.

The Columbia County score is not a single measure but a composite: foreclosure activity, mortgage and tax-lien stress, and local lender headwind each feed it, which is why understanding the components matters as much as the headline number.
