First Look At May 2018 Mortgage Data

• At 44,900, May 2018 saw the second lowest monthly foreclosure starts in more than 17 years
• Just 303,000 mortgages remain in active foreclosure; at 0.59 percent, the national foreclosure rate is now at its lowest point in 15 years
• At the current rate of decline, national foreclosure inventories are on pace to hit the pre-recession average (2000-2005) in early Q3 2018
• May marked five consecutive months of declining delinquencies, as post-hurricane improvement continues
• Delinquency improvements in hurricane-affected areas more than offset slight increases in non-impacted markets in May, dropping the national delinquency rate to its lowest level in 15 months
