This month, as always, we begin with a review of some of the high-level mortgage performance statistics reported in our most recent First Look report, with an update on delinquency, foreclosure and prepayment trends. Next, we take a deeper dive into select June performance highlights, with a focus on delinquency rates and how these trends compare to natural disasters, forbearance activity improvements, and the status of COVID-19-related forbearance plans.

Next, we take a closer look at July’s record low interest rate environment, including a breakdown of refinance numbers and soaring prepayment rates. Finally, we provide a geographical analysis on home affordability, including markets having affordability rates not seen since before the Great Recession and how this has increased buyer power.

Here we have an overview of findings from Black Knight’s ‘First Look’ at June mortgage performance data. This information has been compiled from Black Knight’s McDash loan-level mortgage performance database. You may click on each chart to see its contents in high-resolution.

The number of serious delinquencies rose sharply in June as the initial wave of borrowers financially impacted by COVID-19 missed their third mortgage payment.

JUNE OVERVIEW STATS

CHANGE IN DELINQUENCY RATE

The national delinquency rate improved for the first time in five

months, falling to 7.6%”

While total past due mortgages fell by 98,000, serious delinquencies

rose by 1.2 million

FORECLOSURE INVENTORY

At 192,000, June’s active foreclosure inventory was the lowest on record

dating back to 2000

Active foreclosure inventory is dwindling as federal foreclosure

moratoriums remain in place

PREPAYMENT RATE

Prepayment activity hit its highest level in 16 years

The growth was fueled by falling 30-year rates and surging refinance incentives

MORTGAGE DELINQUENCIES BY SEVERITY30 Days DQ 60 Days DQ 90+ Days DQ Total Delinquent

Here, we take a deeper dive into select June performance highlights, with a focus on the first drop in the national delinquency rate in five months, 90-day delinquencies reaching their highest levels since 2011, forbearance plan activity and how these numbers can be compared to past impacts from natural disasters. This information has been compiled from Black Knight’s McDash loan-level mortgage performance database. You may click on each chart to see its contents in high-resolution.

JUNE 2020 MORTGAGE PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

» The national delinquency rate fell in June for the first time since January, as initial impacts of COVID-19 on mortgage performance began to crest

» Nearly 7.6% of mortgage holders remain delinquent, up from a record low 3.2% at the beginning of the year

» The number of borrowers 90 or more days past due surged in June to 1.87 million, the largest volume since 2011

» 90-day delinquencies could rise even higher in July given the secondary volume of new delinquencies seen in May and resulting elevated levels of 60-day delinquencies in June

» The number of early-stage delinquencies has mostly normalized, with 30-day delinquencies nearly back to their pre-COVID levels

» Delinquency numbers will be important to watch in August and September, especially if expanded unemployment benefits decline or expire

JUNE 2020 MORTGAGE PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

» Delinquency trends seen so far for COVID-19 have largely followed the timing and magnitude of those seen after hurricanes Harvey and Irma in 2017

» Delinquencies peaked in the second month post-impact following hurricanes Harvey (+5.6%) and Irma (+5.6), as well as Katrina (+26.3%) in 2005

» Placing the “impact” date of COVID-19 in March, when wide-spread lockdowns were initially rolled out, delinquencies appear to have peaked in the second month “post-impact” during COVID-19 at +4.5%

» Serious delinquency (90+ day DQ) rates peaked in month three post-impact for Irma (+3.2%), and month four for Harvey (+3.4%) and Katrina (+13.9%)

» Likewise, serious delinquency rates spiked in June — the third month “post-impact” from COVID-19 — to 2.8% above pre-pandemic levels

» Following each of these major hurricane events, it took 11-18 months for delinquency rates to return to pre-disaster levels and 14-18 months for serious delinquencies to normalize

» If the COVID-19 recovery trajectory resembles that of recent hurricanes, which may be seen by some as an optimistic scenario, the mortgage and housing industries could be dealing with the pandemic fallout into 2022, or perhaps longer

» If this trend holds true through the end of the month, we could see another decline in the national delinquency rate when July month-end data is reported

» Mortgage servicers continue to process the initial wave of forbearance expirations, which were primarily scheduled to take place in June and July

» Entering June, nearly 2.5 million active forbearance plans were set to expire within the month, meaning June was the last forborne payment, with another 1.3 million scheduled to expire in July

» Nearly 1.8 million forbearance extensions have taken place over the last four weeks, with another 890,000 loans removed from forbearance , representing a 2:1 extension to removal ratio

» With the bulk of forbearance extensions being for an additional three months, an ‘echo wave’ of forbearance expirations has been generated

» With nearly 2.2 million active forbearance plans set to expire in September, another wave of forbearance extensions and removals may very well be seen in late September/early October

(BASED ON FIRST LIEN MARKET MAKE-UP AS OF JUNE 2020)

» After 30-year rates fell below 3% in mid-July for the first time on record, providing refinance incentive to a record 18.1 million homeowners, rates edged up slightly in the third week of July

» Despite the increase, some 15.6 million refinance candidates still meet broad based underwriting criteria and could also reduce their 30-year interest rate by at least 0.75% through refinance

» The average savings for those candidates is $289/mo., for an aggregate monthly savings of over $4.5 billion if all candidates were to refinance

» Removing underwriting criteria, 52% of mortgage holders have a current interest rate 0.75% or more above the going 30-year rate in the market

» In assessing the potential impact of sub-3% interest rates, we see that if rates fall to 2.875%, it would result in 19.5 million candidates — shattering July’s record — while rates of 2.75% would add another 7%, bringing the number of homeowners that could benefit from a refi to 20.9 million

NATIONAL PAYMENT TO INCOME RATIO*Payment to Income Ratio (left Axis) Freddie 30-Year Fixed Interest Rate (right axis)

*The National Payment to Income Ratio is the share of median income needed to make the monthly principal and interest paymenton the purchase of the median priced home using a 20% down 30-year fixed rate mortgage at the prevailing interest rate

*The National Payment to Income Ratio is the share of median income needed to make the monthly principal and interest paymenton the purchase of the median priced home using a 20% down 30-year fixed rate mortgage at the prevailing interest rate

» Purchasing the average priced home, for the average family, is now the most affordable it’s been since 2016

» As of mid-July, it required only 19.8% of median monthly income to make the monthly payment on the average priced home purchase (assuming 20% down and a 30-year mortgage) — that’s more than 5% below the 1995–2003 average

» The monthly payment on the average priced home purchase is $66 less per month than it was at the same time last year, despite average home values increasing more than $12,000

» Buying power is up 10% YoY, allowing the average home buyer to afford nearly $32,000 more home than they could at the same time last year, while keeping their monthly payment the same

Record low 30-year rates have had significant impacts on home affordability

NEW YORK METRO – DAILY SINGLE FAMILY MEDIANNEW LIST AND SOLD PRICE PER SQAURE FOOT

» During the initial peak of the pandemic in mid-March and April, New York City found itself as the epicenter, negatively impacting the metro area’s real estate market

» Single-family list prices, which had previously averaged five percent higher than the corresponding sales prices, began to fall

» During the pandemic’s peak in New York City, median list prices ran even — and at times below — median sale prices in the metro area

» Aided by improved affordability, median list prices in the New York City metro area began to recover by the end of April, and stabilized to pre-pandemic levels by May

» Sales prices have correspondingly rebounded, rising to new calendar year highs by mid-July

Despite the pandemic’s continued impacts on global economies, the U.S. real estate market has shown resilience thus far and continues to perform well

JUNE 2020 AFFORDABILITY AND HOME PRICE TRENDS

» To assess the pandemic's broader impacts, Collateral Analytics created a home price index (HPI) that analyzed the median sold prices of single-family homes across 22 markets, beginning in January 2020, and showing changes through June 1.

» Despite drops in April and May, home prices have since performed well and begun to improve in most analyzed markets.

» Each of the markets analyzed has now seen positive growth YTD in their median price per square foot

» The largest increases are seen in Dallas and Seattle, where the median price per square foot is up more than 13% YTD after pullbacks in May

» The shallowest increases are seen in Washington, D.C. where prices are up 1% YTD, and New York City at +1.8%

With interest rates falling further in July, daily home price data bears watching closely in coming months
