Black Knight: Mortgage Delinquencies Increase Another 20% in May to Hit Highest Level Since 2011, But June Payment Data Suggests Rise May Be Cresting
- Another 723,000 homeowners became past due on their mortgages in May, pushing the national delinquency rate to its highest level in 8.5 years
- There are now 4.3 million homeowners past due on their mortgages or in active foreclosure -- including those in forbearance who have missed scheduled payments as part of their plans -- up from 2 million at the end of March
- Serious delinquencies are on the rise as well, increasing by more than 50% over the past two months
- However, Black Knight's McDash Flash Payment Tracker shows a higher share of payments have been made thus far in June than at the same time in May, suggesting the rise in delinquencies may be leveling off
- Both foreclosure starts and sales (completions), halted by COVID-19 moratoriums, remain at record lows
- The share of homeowners in active foreclosure has fallen to its lowest level on record since Black Knight began reporting the figure in January 2000
- COVID-19-related impacts on April purchase and refinance locks resulted in mortgage prepayments edging downward, but with 30-year rates near record lows, the potential for increased prepay activity remains
