Mortgage delinquency rates jumped up 2.4 percent from May to June and foreclosure inventories inched up slightly according to the latest “First Look” Mortgage Report released by Lender Processing Service (LPS), which is derived from its loan-level database of nearly 40 million loans.
The total number of loans that are 30 days or more past due, but not yet in foreclosure, climbed from 7.96 percent in May to 8.15 percent in June, a gain of 2.4 percent that adds an additional 100,000 units to that category. However, compared to June of 2010, the delinquency rate continued to be significantly less, with a year-over-year decline of 14.7 percent.
The number of properties in foreclosure increased slightly from 2,164,000 in May to 2,167,000 in June.
