Mortgage, Delinquencies Snapshot as 2022 Wrapped Up

According to Black Knight’s “First Look” at December 2022 data, the national delinquency rate inched up seven basis points during the month to 3.08% but finished the year 30 basis points (or 9%) down compared to year-end data from 2021. 

However, prepayment activity found a new low, falling to 0.39% with single month mortality hitting its third consecutive record low since Black Knight has been tracking the metric. 

Serious delinquencies (90+ days past due) continued to improve nationally despite an 8,700 rise in Florida in the wake of Hurricane Ian, with 44 other states seeing seriously past-due volumes decline in the month. 

Borrowers who are 30 days late increased by 40,000, a 4.8% increase, while 60-day delinquencies numbers remained stable. 

Foreclosure starts increased by 15% in the month to 26,900 – the third consecutive increase, but still 30% below pre-pandemic levels. The foreclosure process was started on 4.9% of serious delinquencies in December, up from November 2022, but is still down 46% from pre-pandemic levels.
