Foreclosure Starts at Record Low Nationwide

According to Rick Sharga, executive vice president with RealtyTrac, “The government’s foreclosure moratorium, the mortgage forbearance program, and the mortgage servicing guidelines enacted by the DFPB in August have kept foreclosure starts artificially low over the past year.  While the recovering economy should prevent a huge increase in defaults, we should see a gradual increase in foreclosure activity as these programs expire, and servicers exhaust all loan modification options for delinquent borrowers.”
