Mortgage delinquencies update

We are still seeing record high mortgage delinquencies. Unfortunately, new delinquencies are outpacing loss mitigation efforts. The loans are still not being modified quick enough to keep loans from going bad. The number of new delinquencies since January 1, 2009, still exceeds the trial loan modificaitons number by 25 percent.

The Mortgage Monitor report today from the Lender Processing Services revealed that the numbers are really staggering.


Loans delinquent/in foreclosure process: 7.5 million
REO/Post-sale foreclosure: 1 million
Loans that were current 1/1/09 and 60+ days delinquent 1/1/10: 2.5 million

I find this to be the most interesting fact:

More than 31 percent of loans that have been delinquent for six months are not yet in foreclosure, while 22.8 percent of loans delinquent for 12 months have not been moved to foreclosure status (up from 9.0 percent in 2008).
