- The national delinquency rate fell 3 basis points (bps) to 3.26% in October, marking a 9 bps (-2.8%) improvement from the same time last year
- Serious delinquencies (90+ days past due) fell to 447K, once again hitting their lowest levels since 2006
- Loans 30-days late also declined, marking the first such improvement in five months
- Despite the improvement in delinquencies, foreclosure starts rose to 33K in October, hitting their highest levels in 18 months – while the number of foreclosure sales (completions) remained relatively flat
- Active foreclosure inventory inched up 3K to 217K, but remains more than 25% below prepandemic levels
- While foreclosure starts rose in October, near term risk remains muted, with serious delinquencies historically low and more than 70% of such loans protected from foreclosure by loss mitigation efforts
- Prepay activity (measured as single-month mortality) dwindled to just 0.43% under continued seasonal pressure, despite interest rates easing somewhat from the prior month
