On average how much does a new foreclosure lower a person's credit score?

Question: I'm trying to get an average amount a credit score of about 720 would be lowered if a person ends up with a foreclosure.

Answer:
This is one of the worst things that can show up on your credit. If it's not tied to a bankruptcy it's even worse.

You can expect your score to drop at least 100-points and possibly more.

You would be possibly as low as the 500's but for sure low 600's. It will totally destroy you, do not let it happen
