Findigs Research · Q3 2026

Every decision has an outcome. Now there's data behind it

The first Findigs State of Decisioning Report, built from what our network observed, from who applies to what happens after move-in.

  • How long decisions take, and how many applications cancel while they wait

  • Approval rates by credit band, and the credit floors operators actually set

  • Eviction and skip rates through month 12 of the lease

What's in this edition

The Q3 2026 edition covers decision speed, drop-off, after-hours demand, approval and decline, post-lease outcomes, and fraud signals. Its application data spans 68,689 submitted applicant groups across 42 states and D.C., and every figure states its denominator and exclusions beside it.
