  • The U.S. mortgage delinquency rate progresses again in September to 3.91%, the first time it’s been lower 4% since the onset of the pandemic, according to Black Knight’s First Look at September mortgage performance.
  • Foreclosure starts to pull back near record lows in September at 3.9K following an increase in August after the expiration of the federal moratorium at the end of July.
  • The number of loans in active foreclosure decreases by 7K to another record low, but since there are still 1.2M homeowners who are 90+ days late on their mortgage payments, foreclosure metrics call for a close look in the coming months, Black Knight suggests. 
  • The number of properties that are 30+ days past due, but not in foreclosure of 2.1M fell by 54K M/M.
  • The number of properties that are 90+ days past due amounts to 1.23M, declining by 106K in September and;
  • The number of properties in foreclosure pre-sale inventory of 135K in September edges lesser by 7K M/M.
  • Previously, (Oct. 8) Mortgages in active forbearance grow the most in a year: Black Knight.
