- November’s 33,500 foreclosure starts marked a 26% year-over-year decline, and the lowest monthly volume since Black Knight began recording the metric in 2000
- The national foreclosure rate also fell by 3% from October to hit its lowest level since 2005
- Delinquencies rose seasonally in November, but remain nearly 5% below last year’s level
- Prepayment activity fell 19% from October’s six-year high due to both seasonal declines in home-sale-related prepays as well as higher interest rates impacting refinance incentive
- Despite the pullback, prepayment activity remains 123% above this point last year
