In the first four months of 2026, more than 86,000 real estate eClosings were completed on Proof, across ~850 organizations. That's a 400% increase over the same period in 2025.

To put the pace in concrete terms: March 2026 alone produced approximately 25,000 completed closings, nearly matching everything processed across the entire first four months of 2025.

This post covers where that volume is coming from, which states are leading, and which markets are growing the fastest. For the full operational picture, including how RON and hybrid formats compare on speed and quality, and what's driving the transaction mix, check out our report on 2026 trends in eClosings.

The volume leaders

Among transactions where property state was identified, these states led in total eClosings completed in the first four months of 2026, according to Proof's platform data:

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

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

The fastest-growing markets

Volume tells part of the story. Growth rate tells another.

The states with the highest year-over-year growth in early 2026 are not the established markets above. They are states where RON adoption is newer, and where enabling infrastructure, state law, a mature platform, and organizational willingness to change the process, has finally met latent demand that had nowhere productive to go before:

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

Michigan, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Tennessee seeing triple- and quadruple-digit growth while starting from relatively small bases signals that the wave is moving well beyond the early-adopter geographies. These are not markets where digital closings are being piloted. They are markets where the decision has been made and volume is growing fast.

What this means if you're in one of these markets

If your state is in either table above, your market has already made its decision. Peers and competitors are closing digitally, at significant volume, and they 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.

The state tables above tell you where eClosings are happening. The 2026 Trends in eClosings report covers the rest: how RON and hybrid formats compare on turnaround time, whether conversion rates hold up as volume grows, what the transaction mix reveals about the type of adoption underway, and what organizations in high-growth markets are doing differently.
