"Foreclosure activity continues to trend near historic lows as we enter the 14 th month of the Federal Government's foreclosure and eviction moratorium," said Rick Sharga, executive vice president at RealtyTrac, an ATTOM Data Solutions company. "Coupled with the CARES Act mortgage forbearance program, the government and mortgage servicing industry have worked together exceptionally well to prevent millions of unnecessary foreclosures. Because of these programs, and the nearly 90 percent success rate of borrowers resuming mortgage payments as they exit forbearance, a large influx of foreclosures when the programs expire seems very, very unlikely."
