Each month, the Black Knight Mortgage Monitor looks at a variety of issues related to the mortgage finance and housing industries.

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.

With full-year mortgage performance data now in, we then delve into some year-end metrics, finding that most key indicators have returned to their long-term, pre-recession averages.

Next, as recent interest rate declines have resulted in a more than 50% increase in refinance incentive in the market over just the past two months, we take a closer look at which segments of the market are the most heavily impacted by this change.

As the housing market continues to react to a rising interest rate environment, we then dive in to the most recent numbers from the Black Knight Home Price Index (HPI) to see how that is impacting home affordability.

In producing the Mortgage Monitor, Black Knight’s Data & Analytics division aggregates, analyzes and reports upon the most recently available mortgage performance data from the company’s McDash loan-level database.

DECEMBER 2018 FIRST LOOK RELEASE

Despite rising seasonally in recent months, mortgage delinquencies saw the lowest year-end total since Black Knight began reporting the figure in 2000

DECEMBER OVERVIEW STATS

CHANGE IN DELINQUENCY RATE

2018 saw the lowest year-end delinquency rate this century

3.9% of active mortgages were delinquent in December

4.7%

TOTAL FORECLOSURE STARTS

Starts edged slightly upward, with 46.3K starts reported for the month

A 4% annual rise is the result of suppressed start volumes in

2017 due to hurricane moratoria

FORECLOSURE RATE

Though up seasonally, the foreclosure rate posted the lowest year-end total

since 2005

Just 271K loans remain in active foreclosure

2.4% 1.2%

YEAR-OVER-YEAR CHANGE IN DELINQUENCY RATE(6-MONTH AVERAGE TO END EACH YEAR)

Non-Hurricane Adjusted Hurricane Adjusted

» While we’ve documented the potential impact of rising interest rates, and talk of a looming recession persists in the market, mortgage performance continues to strengthen

» The national delinquency rate is down 18% from last year, though that figure is overstated due to hurricane-related effects over the past 18 months

» Still, even excluding hurricane-impacted areas, December's delinquency rate was down an impressive 11% from last year

» Over the past six months, the national delinquency rate has been down an average of 13% from the prior year, and down 9% even when excluding hurricane-affected areas

» Steady declines in delinquencies as 2018 came to a close suggest the national delinquency rate could continue to press lower in early 2019

» In fact, continued improvement could result in performance metrics hitting new post-recession lows as performance metrics see typical seasonal improvements come spring

Non-Hurricane Adjusted Hurricane Adjusted

» Overall, 2018 marked the lowest year-end serious delinquency rate since 2004

» When accounting for hurricane-related impacts among the seriously delinquent population (90 or more days past due), we see improvement remains strong among this cohort as well

» The 90+ day delinquency rate is down 14% year-over-year in non-hurricane-affected areas; just slightly below the -16% average overall

» While this has slowed slightly from declines in recent years, a strong rate of reduction remains among serious delinquencies

SERIOUS DELINQUENCY RATE BY STATE – DEC 2018

» At the state level, we see clear geographic separation in serious delinquency rates, with the southeastern and northeastern U.S. seeing the highest rates, with the greatest improvement and lowest serious delinquency rates across the western and southwestern states  

» Overall, areas most heavily impacted by 2017's hurricane season experienced the largest declines

» Florida’s serious delinquency rate fell 73% year-over-year, while Texas’ was cut by more than half during the 2018 calendar year

» Only three states (North Dakota, Iowa and North Carolina) saw an increase in serious delinquencies; North Carolinas, 9% increase was largely the result of Hurricane Florence

» Colorado's 0.37% serious delinquency rate is the lowest of any state, and more than 60% below the national average

» At 3.06%, Mississippi has the nation's highest serious delinquency rate, more than 3X the national average and 50% higher than any other state

» While foreclosure starts rose slightly from Q3 to Q4, they remained relatively flat year-over-year as a result of moratoria in hurricane-impacted areas; elsewhere, starts were actually down 7% from Q4 2017

» First-time foreclosure starts also dropped 18% from last year, setting a new low since Black Knight began reporting the data in 2000

» Even repeat foreclosures – though making up more than 60% of all starts, the highest share ever recorded – were down 6% from the end of 20170%

DECEMBER 2018 | 8

» Just 1.12% of active loans were referred to foreclosure in 2018, besting 2017’s previous low by -12%

» That said, foreclosure start rates varied noticeably across the country from 0.38% in Colorado to 2.36% in Mississippi

» In fact, Colorado’s was the lowest annual foreclosure start rate of any state since Black Knight began reporting the data in 2000

» The only states where foreclosure start rates increased in 2018 were Texas, Florida and Hawaii

» Texas and Florida increased foreclosure rates were due to an artificially low starting point from hurricane-related foreclosure moratoriums in 2017

» While foreclosure rates are higher than they were a year ago (due to moratoriums in late 2017) they’re lower than they were immediately prior to the hurricanes hitting those two states

Example Scenario based on current rate of

reduction

» Both the national foreclosure rate and the number of loans in active foreclosure have now fallen below long-term norms

» In fact, the national foreclosure rate closed out 2018 below its pre-crisis average for the first time since 2005

» While the rate of improvement has slowed slightly in recent months, at the current rate of decline, both metrics would be near record lows by the end of 2019

» Just one state - North Dakota - saw its foreclosure rate increase in 2018; all other states saw improvement

» Nationally, the foreclosure rate declined by 19% through 2018, but some areas saw even greater declines

» New Jersey, Oregon, Nevada, Washington D.C, and Utah all saw greater than 30% reductions in their respective foreclosure rates

BREAKDOWN OF AGED (>5 YEAR DQ) FORECLOSURES

» Low foreclosure start rates in recent years have led to a historically low number of early-stage foreclosures

» Just 117K active foreclosures involve a borrower who is less than 12 months delinquent on their mortgage

» That's the lowest share of early-stage foreclosures since the turn of the century and roughly half the 2000-2005 average

» A large number of aged foreclosures remain as fallout from the financial crisis

» Over 60K foreclosure cases exist in which the borrower hasn’t made a payment in 2+ years; some 40K of these haven't made a payment in 5 years or more

» Total active foreclosures are down 18% from last year, but those 5+ years old are down 35%

» New York alone is home to over 40% (17K) of aged foreclosure cases

» Florida comes in second with 20% of such cases (8.5K as of December)

» Combined, those two states hold 60% of aged foreclosure inventory; The next highest state is NJ with less than 5%

» While the number of loans in active foreclosure just recently fell below its pre-recession average, foreclosure sales have been there since 2016

» Foreclosure sale rates, while up from recent years, remain nearly 50% below pre-recession averages, resulting in a smaller share of active foreclosures making their way to completion than prior to the financial crisis

» It may be that the increased focus on loss mitigation efforts, as well as greater scrutiny around foreclosure processes, in the post-crisis period are helping to drive these lower foreclosure sale rates

» 2004-2009 vintage mortgages continue to see the highest foreclosure sale volumes, accounting for nearly 60% of sales last year

» From a geographic perspective, Florida, New Jersey and New York continue to see the highest volumes, accounting for 22% of all sales last year

DECEMBER 2018 | 12

Recent interest rate declines have resulted in a more than 50% increase in refinance incentive in the market over just the past two months. Here we take a closer look at which segments of the market are the most heavily impacted by this change. 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.

DECEMBER 2018 REFINANCE INCENTIVE UPDATE

» 30-year mortgage rates fell below 4.5% in January for the first time since April 2018

» The decline in rates has returned interest rate incentive to refinance to 1M homeowners, a 50% increase over just the last two months

» This is the largest this population has been since January 2018

» Even if rates should hold steady – and certainly if they fall further – this could lead to an unexpected bump in refinance volumes in early 2019

» That said, there are still 1.8M fewer refi candidates than at the start of 2018, a 40% decline

Refinance Candidates: Homeowners current on their mortgage with 720+ credit scores and >= 20% equity in their home that could reduce their interest rate by 0.75% or more by refinancing into a 30-year fixed rate mortgage at the prevailing interest rate

» 40% of homeowners who’ve regained refinance incentive (424K) took out their current home loan in 2009 – 2011

» 75% of incentive gains came to loans originated pre-2011

» A large portion of these homeowners have already had, but not acted upon, interest rate incentive to refinance in recent years, when rates were even lower

» This suggests the impact of incentive gains may be more limited than the numbers suggest

» HELOC rates are rising, so homeowners wanting to tap equity, but who haven’t due to the rising cost of doing so, may lead to increased cash-out refi volumes in early 2019 as well

SHARE OF 30-YR MORTGAGES MEETING REFINANCEABLE CRITERIAThe vast majority of refi incentive (>90%) is held on loans originated prior to 2011

Refinance Candidates: Homeowners current on their mortgage with 720+ credit scores and >= 20% equity in their home that could reduce their interest rate by 0.75% or more by refinancing into a 30-year fixed rate mortgage at the prevailing interest rate

» Loans held in private labeled securities (PLS) still have the most refi incentive, with 12.1% of borrowers having the ability and incentive to do so

» GSE loans come in a distant second, with 7.8% of 30-year mortgage holders having rate incentive to refinance, a 55% increase from two months ago

» The lowest refinance potential/prepayment risk is among portfolio loans; just 3.2% of 30-year mortgages have rate/term refi incentive

» The 1.4 percentage point increase among portfolio-held loans represents a 81% rise in population, the largest percent increase in incentive among any investor group

» Portfolio-held loans – especially those originated in recent years – tend to have higher credit scores and higher balance, meaning borrowers may be more apt to act on newfound incentives to refi

SHARE OF 30-YR MORTGAGES MEETING REFINANCEABLE CRITERIAJust 4.5% of FHA/VA borrowers have refi incentive; though less than that of GSE loans, the 1.8% percentage point rise represents a 67% increase from two months ago

HOME PRICE APPRECIATION VS 30-YR FIXED INTEREST RATEAnnual Rate of Home Price Appreciation (left axis) 30-Year Fixed Rate

» The average home declined in value by 0.2% (-$580) in November, marking both the first 3-month consecutive decline and the largest single month decline in home prices since the housing recovery began in early 2012

» The average home is now down an aggregate of $1,361 (-0.5%) in value from August 2018

» The annual rate of appreciation slowed further in November as well, falling to 4.9%

» That's down 0.4% from October (the largest single month deceleration in over 4 years), and down 1.8% from the February 2019 peak of 6.7%

» In digesting these numbers, one should remember that November saw the average 30-year mortgage interest rate hit the highest level in over 7 years, making the monthly P&I payments on a home purchase the least affordable in nearly a decade

» Despite the recent reductions, home prices remain up from one year ago in all 50 states and 99 of the 100 largest U.S. markets

» Still, noticeable changes are evident across the country

» Deceleration continues to expand, with 36 states and 78 of the 100 largest markets seeing home price growth slow

» While deceleration is being seen in all regions of the country, the heaviest slowing continues to be in the western U.S.

» A simple look at annual HPI rates in February vs. November shows just how much slowing the western states have experienced

» The annual growth rate in California is now 3.7%, down from 10.3% just nine months ago

» Washington has slowed from 12.5% to 6.7% over that same period of time

» As a result, home price appreciation rates are now much more uniform across the country.

» As of January 2019, $1,192 in monthly P&I payments is required to purchase the average priced home with a 30-year fixed rate of 4.45% (assuming 20% down)

» While down $56 from November, it's still $111 (+10%) more than at this time last year

» The recent slide in rates, while making the average home more affordable for buyers, may not be enough to curtail ongoing deceleration in home price gains

» Despite slowing home price gains beginning in March 2018, rates, payments and the share of median income needed to buy the average home all remain elevated from where the market reaction began
