Lender Processing Service (LPS) released its monthly “First Look” Mortgage Report for April 2011 yesterday, which is derived from its loan-level database of nearly 40 million loans. The month-end data shows that mortgage delinquency rates increased in the month of April as foreclosure inventories declined.
The “First Look” report contains highlights of the company’s forthcoming Mortgage Monitor report which will provide a more in-depth review including an analysis of data supplemented by in-depth charts and graphs that reflect trend and point-in-time observations.
Early highlights of the report include:
