Sneak Peak at the April Mortgage Monitor Report

We have a sneak peak of the "April Mortgage Monitor" report from Lender Processing Services, Inc (LPS). The report is scheduled to be released in full at the end of the month, and takes its data from more than 40 million loans. According to our sources, the report states that the total U.S. delinquency rate (loans 30 or more days past due but not yet in foreclosure) is at 7.12%. That figure is up 0.4% from March but it is down by 10.6% compared to last year. Currently, there are 3,522,000 delinquent mortgages on residential homes, including 1,595,000 that are more than 90 days late.

We reported on the foreclosure pre-sale in the past. Its inventory is now made up of 2,048,000 properties. Combining that with the past-due mortgages gives us a total of 5,570,000 properties that are either delinquent or in foreclosure. The states that have the highest percentages of non-current loans include Florida, Mississippi, Nevada, Illinois and New Jersey.
