Proof

Top States for eClosings in 2026

In the first four months of 2026, over 86,000 real estate eClosings were completed on Proof—a 400% increase from 2025—with Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, California, Texas, North Carolina, Illinois, Maryland, and Ohio leading in total volume, while New Hampshire, Michigan, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Texas, Alabama, and Illinois experienced the fastest year-over-year growth due to factors like RON adoption, enabling legislation, and increased enterprise adoption.

In the first four months of 2026, more than 86,000 real estate eClosings were completed on Proof, across approximately 850 organizations. This represents a 400% increase over the same period in 2025. For context, March 2026 alone saw about 25,000 completed closings, nearly matching the total processed in the entire first four months of 2025.

This overview highlights where this volume is coming from, which states are leading, and which markets are experiencing the fastest growth.

The Volume Leaders

Among transactions where the property state was identified, these states led in total eClosings completed in the first four months of 2026 (with year-over-year growth):

  1. 1.Florida (+345% YoY)
  2. 2.Pennsylvania (+442% YoY)
  3. 3.New Jersey (+513% YoY)
  4. 4.Virginia (+310% YoY)
  5. 5.California (+296% YoY)
  6. 6.Texas (+427% YoY)
  7. 7.North Carolina (+403% YoY)
  8. 8.Illinois (+405% YoY)
  9. 9.Maryland (+275% YoY)
  10. 10.Ohio (+402% YoY)

Florida, Texas, and California lead in part due to their high concentrations of title companies and mortgage lenders active on Proof. Virginia has been a RON-forward state since early enabling legislation and has a well-established professional notary community. Pennsylvania and New Jersey, historically slower to digitize the closing process, are now growing rapidly, both up more than 400% year over year, indicating that enterprise adoption in those markets has reached a tipping point.

The Fastest-Growing Markets

Growth rate tells another part of the story. The states with the highest year-over-year growth in early 2026 are those where RON adoption is newer, and where enabling infrastructure, state law, a mature platform, and organizational willingness to change have finally met latent demand:

  1. 1.New Hampshire (+657% YoY)
  2. 2.Michigan (+612% YoY)
  3. 3.New Jersey (+513% YoY)
  4. 4.Oregon (+482% YoY)
  5. 5.Tennessee (+478% YoY)
  6. 6.Missouri (+450% YoY)
  7. 7.Pennsylvania (+442% YoY)
  8. 8.Texas (+427% YoY)
  9. 9.Alabama (+420% YoY)
  10. 10.Illinois (+405% YoY)

States like Michigan, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Tennessee are seeing triple- and quadruple-digit growth, even though they started from relatively small bases. This signals that the wave of digital closings is moving well beyond early-adopter geographies. These are not pilot markets; these are markets where the decision to go digital has been made and volume is growing quickly.

What This Means If You're in One of These Markets

If your state is in either of the tables above, your market has already made its decision. Peers and competitors are closing digitally, at significant volume, and are getting faster at it.

If your state does not appear yet, that is not a signal to wait. The markets with the highest growth rates in early 2026 (Michigan, New Hampshire, Tennessee, Oregon) were barely on the map a year ago. The pattern is consistent: once enabling infrastructure is in place and a few early movers commit, adoption accelerates quickly.
