97.4 percent of mortgages included in the report were current and performing at the end of the quarter, remaining unchanged from 97.4 percent one year earlier.

Servicers initiated 7,903 new foreclosures in the third quarter of 2025 showing an increase from the previous quarter and an increase from a year earlier.
