But a slower-than-anticipated rate of repossessions suggest distressed homeowners are finding solutions.

While the annual total marks a 16-year low, the numbers are likely to change dramatically once government moratoria expire, according to Attom Data Solutions.

The November foreclosure rate represented an 80% decline from the year before, according to Attom Data Solutions.

While moratoria keep foreclosures low compared to last year's rates, October activity jumped 20% from September, according to Attom Data Solutions.

Growing equity levels increased the share of equity-rich and pulled borrowers out from underwater in the third quarter, according to Attom Data Solutions.

With the moratorium still in place, mortgage foreclosure activity fell 83% in July compared to the year before and 4% from June, according to Attom Data Solutions.

Rising equity levels lifted borrowers across the spectrum in the second quarter, according to Attom Data Solutions.

A strong housing market prior to the pandemic and the subsequent coronavirus-related moratorium helped to pull foreclosure activity down to historic lows in the first half of 2020, though that could all change soon, according to Attom Data Solutions.

With mortgage rates reaching all-time lows in the opening quarter, refinance originations were up in 97% of housing markets during 1Q, according to Attom Data Solutions.
