Black Knight : First Look at December 2018 Mortgage Data

• Despite rising seasonally in recent months, only 3.9 percent of mortgages were delinquent as of December month-end, the lowest year-end total since Black Knight began reporting the figure in 2000
• The national foreclosure rate, while also edging seasonally upward in December, posted the lowest year-end figure since 2005, with just 0.52 percent of mortgages in active foreclosure
• Foreclosure starts edged slightly upward with 46,300 starts reported for the month, a 2.4 percent uptick over November
• Foreclosure starts were also up 4 percent year-over-year in December, though this increase was primarily driven by suppressed foreclosure start volumes in late 2017 due to hurricane-related moratoriums
• Prepayments remained nearly unchanged in December, holding near the 10-year low set in November
