• Mortgage delinquencies improved again in October, falling to 6.44%, the lowest level since March
  • Despite five consecutive months of improvement, there are still more than 3.4 million delinquent mortgages, nearly twice as many as there were entering the year
  • Serious delinquencies - loans 90 or more days past due - improved in October as well, but volumes remain at more than five times (+1.8 million) pre-pandemic levels
  • October's 4,700 foreclosure starts marked a nearly 90% year-over-year reduction as widespread moratoriums remain in place, while active foreclosure inventory set yet another record low at 178,000
  • Record-low interest rates again pushed prepayment activity higher, with October's prepayment rate of 3.17% setting the highest single-month mark in more than 16 years

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - November 23, 2020 - Black Knight, Inc. (NYSE:BKI) reports the following 'first look' at October 2020 month-end mortgage performance statistics derived from its loan-level database representing approximately two thirds of the national mortgage market. Data is then extrapolated to reflect the entirety of the active mortgage universe.

*Non-current totals combine foreclosures and delinquencies as a percent of active loans in that state.

  • Totals are extrapolated based on Black Knight's loan-level database of mortgage assets.
  • All whole numbers are rounded to the nearest thousand, except foreclosure starts, which are rounded to the nearest hundred.
