Within the non-foreclosure solutions, there were approximately 29,000 loan modifications, 6,200 completed short sales, 1,700 completed deeds in-lieu and 51,000 foreclosures starts. There were approximately 1.62 million properties in serious delinquency in May, a one percent decline from the 1.64 million rate in April.

This end goal is something that all organizations in the industry can be proud of.”
