Forbearance Numbers are lower than experts forecasted. Many experts feared forbearance would climb to nearly 30% this year, leading to a wave of foreclosures. That Didn't happen. Odeta Kushi, Deputy Chief Economist, First American said “Forbearance did not hit 30%, but rather peaked at 8.6% and has been steadily falling since.” According to recent data, the number of homes in forbearance has been steadily declining since May (5/29 at 4.76 million to 8/14 at 3.93 million). With active forbearance dropping and the strong equity Americans have in their homes today, we won't see high levels of foreclosures like we did during the Great Recession.
