The OCC’s latest Mortgage Metrics Report found that mortgage servicers nationwide initiated 9,166 new foreclosures in the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease from Q3’s totals but a higher volume than recorded in Q4 2021.

A new study from MAISY finds household inflation will likely more than double seriously delinquent mortgages by the end of 2023 to 580,000, a level unseen since 2016.

It has been more than seven years since the mortgage crisis hit the country. What will the market look like at the end of 2016?

Foreclosure starts and foreclosure completions were also down over the year, according to the OCC. Servicers initiated 70,728 foreclosures during Q2, which was down from 11.3 percent in the same quarter in 2014. Completed foreclosures during Q2 totaled 37,725, which was a drop of 23.4 percent from a year earlier

The foreclosure inventory rate has now declined year-over-year for 44 consecutive months, including June. The 1.2 percent foreclosure inventory rate represented about 472,000 homes, down from 664,000 in June 2014. Although the national foreclosure inventory rate is back to pre-recession levels, the rate remains high in select areas hit hardest by the crisis, such as Florida and New Jersey.

The quarter-over-quarter increase in net income for Q2 2015 was largely driven by fair value gains, offset by credit-related expense that was negatively affected by an increase in interest rates. Fannie Mae's net fair value gains in Q2 totaled $2.6 billion, compared with losses of $1.9 billion in Q1.

On a year-over-year basis, foreclosure inventory—residential homes in some state of foreclosure—declined by 27 percent nationwide, down to about 491,000 homes, according to CoreLogic. This number represents about 1.3 percent of all residential homes with a mortgage nationwide. In May 2014, about 676,000 homes were in foreclosure, comprising 1.7 percent of all mortgages nationwide.

"Despite a slow and steady improvement in most housing market fundamentals, too many families remain in default of their mortgage obligations," said Anand Nallathambi, President and CEO of CoreLogic. "The percent of homeowners with a mortgage that have missed three or more monthly payments or are in foreclosure proceedings dropped to 3.6 percent in our April data. While well below the record peak of nearly 9 percent and the lowest in more than seven years, it remains about double the pre-2007 rate."
