- The national delinquency rate fell to 3.39% in October, a nearly 7% decline from last year, and within 0.03% of the record low set in May 2019
- Serious delinquencies fell by 10,000 from September, while the number of loans in active foreclosure edged up slightly (+3,000)
- Prepayment activity climbed another 16% in October to the highest level since May 2013
- Prepays are now up 134% year-over-year as refinancing homeowners continue to take advantage of low interest rates
- However, modest rises in 30-year rates in recent weeks – coupled with seasonal slowing in home sales – may dampen prepayment rates in coming months
