- At 3.46%, July 2019’s delinquency rate is the lowest of any July on record (dating back to 2000)
- Both serious delinquencies (-11,000) and active foreclosure inventory (-1,000) fell as well
- Serious delinquencies (all loans 90 or more days delinquent but not in active foreclosure) fell below 445,000 for the first time since June 2006
