Black Knight’s First Look at June 2021 Mortgage Data

  • The national delinquency rate hit its lowest level since the onset of the pandemic and is now back below its pre-Great Recession average
  • Despite the improvement, there are more than 1.5 million homeowners 90 or more days past due on their mortgages but who are not in foreclosure, still nearly four times pre-pandemic levels
  • Serious delinquency rates remain elevated by more than a full percentage point across all 50 states, with Hawaii and Nevada serious delinquency rates remaining elevated by 3.4 percentage points
  • Though serious delinquencies remain significantly elevated, the share of mortgages in active foreclosure fell to yet another record low in June at 0.27%
  • Recent pullbacks in interest rates resulted in prepayment activity edging upward for the first time in three months

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - July 22, 2021 - Black Knight, Inc. reports the following 'first look' at June 2021 month-end mortgage performance statistics derived from its loan-level database representing the majority of the national mortgage market.
