HOPE NOW says foreclosure sales also fell 20%, while foreclosure starts declined 17% between the months of October and November.
Since 2007, HOPE NOW has completed 6.8 million loan modifications. About 5.5 million are proprietary mods, while roughly 1.3 million received mods through the government’s Home Affordable Modification Program.
The number of loan delinquencies more than 60 days past due came in at 2.02 million in November, down 1% from 2.04 million in October.
