Enterprises: 2nd quarter foreclosure prevention report

The FHFA has released its Second Quarter 2020 Foreclosure Prevention and Refinance Report. The report shows that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the Enterprises) completed 252,014 foreclosure prevention actions in the second quarter of 2020, bringing to 4.68 million the number of troubled homeowners who have been helped during conservatorships. Of these actions, 3.98 million of the foreclosure prevention actions have helped troubled homeowners stay in their homes.

  • Forbearance: newly initiated forbearance increased significantly to 1.5 million in the second quarter from 170,533 in the first quarter of 2020. The total number of loans in forbearance plans at the end of the quarter was 1.39 million, representing approximately 4.95 percent of the total loans serviced. A majority of the forbearance actions occurred as a result of the Enterprises' response to COVID-19 impacts.
  • Loan Modifications: of the 13,991 loan modifications completed, 41 percent reduced borrowers' monthly payments by more than 20 percent; 66 percent were extend-term only; and 19 percent were modifications with principal forbearance.
