- Continued hurricane-related cure activity pushed delinquencies to their lowest level in more than 12 years
- Foreclosure starts rose 11 percent over June’s 17-year low to 48,300, for the highest total in three months
- Though starts rose nationwide, foreclosure referrals in hurricane-affected areas of Texas increased by a higher-than-average 19 percent
- Fewer completions and an increase in starts caused foreclosure inventory to rise slightly in July, for just the second such increase in the past three years
- Improving delinquencies outweighed the slight increase in foreclosures, bringing the total non-current population (all loans 30 or more days delinquent or in active foreclosure) to a more than 12-year low
